It's been a couple of days since Google released its upgraded Find My Device network, and the good news is that the update is now available on all supported devices. However, a lot of people still have no idea how to get access to the feature or how to use it. In addition to that, users are still unaware of how to turn it off because it is placed within some settings that most people don't know about. If you are wondering how to use the Find My Device network on your Android, then you are at the right spot, as we are going to walk you through the process.
Learn how to use Find My Device Network and never lose a device
Now, it is worth noting that you should not really turn this feature off because, so far, I believe it to be completely secure, but if you are still worried that something is going to create issues for you, you can learn how to use Find My Device Network and turn it off or on, depending on your choice.
I am using the OnePlus 11, and based on the device you have, you might find the Find My Device network tucked away in a different spot. The simplest way to find it is just to go to settings on your device and do a quick search. But I am still going to go ahead with the tutorial so you can have an easier time understanding the Find My Device network.
Step 1: Go to Settings
Step 2: Scroll down to Security and privacy
Step 3: Scroll down and find Device finders
Step 4: Go to Find My Device and turn the toggle on or off based on your requirements. Do the same with Unknown tracker alerts, and you are good to go.
That would be all, really. I do understand that some people might find themselves in a rut thinking that using the Find My Device network is not an easy thing to do, but to be honest, that is really not the case, as the process is fairly easy and straightforward. I would highly advise that you keep this feature turned off, but if you are concerned about your privacy, then you can go ahead and turn it off without any issues whatsoever coming in the way. Rest assured. It is good that Google finally rolled it out, as it is going to help us find a lot of devices with ease and with very little panic.
