Abstract

Apple and Google have announced plans to bring Apple's Find My network to Android devices. This collaboration aims to prevent unauthorized use of Bluetooth location-tracking devices and provide support for both platforms. The Find My network allows users to locate lost or stolen devices and protect against unwanted tracking. While the system has some limitations, such as device detectability and law enforcement response, the partnership between Apple and Google is expected to address these concerns. Android users will now be able to track their devices using the Find My network, which will expand its capabilities beyond Apple devices. [Extracted from the article]
