Google’s Find My Device becomes Find Hub amid expansion

CodeCanyon · May 13

Android users will have more ways to find their devices and other items, Google announced on Tuesday during the Android Show, a week before Google I/O 2025. The company says its Find My Device feature, which allows Android users to locate lost phones and other devices, will become known as “Find Hub,” as it rolls out support for more partners, satellite-based finding capabilities, and airline partnerships.

Initially introduced as an Android-based alternative to Apple’s Find My service in 2013, Find My Device expanded just over a year ago with the introduction of a crowdsourced finding network that could locate personal belongings via third-party Bluetooth trackers and tags, like those from Chipolo, Pebblebee, and others.

Now, Google is unveiling more partners that will work with its service using built-in location tracking capabilities.

This includes built-in luggage finding from brands like July and Mokobara, a way to locate lost skis with built-in Peak integration, and new Bluetooth tags aimed at families from Pixbee. Later this month, Android users will also be able to use ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to locate Motorola’s moto tags.

The company says support for satellite-based finding will roll out later in 2025.

Google also announced airline partnerships that will help travelers keep track of their luggage, following last year’s news that Apple’s Find My will work with over a dozen airlines. For Android users, new airline partners working with Google’s Find Hub include Aer Lingus, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, and Singapore Airlines.
