  • Google may introduce more automatic opt-ins for its Find My Device network.
  • Location access and device location syncing could trigger automatic enrollment.
  • Strings also suggest that Google would send email explainers when the changes roll out.

Google’s highly anticipated Find My Device network launched last year, but it was quite a letdown back then. The network for finding lost devices and items has shown promising improvements in 2025, but there’s definitely a lot more room to grow. One of the ways that the Find My Device network can improve is by adding more devices to its billions-strong network, or by merely opting in the devices that already exist. Google seems to be preparing for just that, as we’ve spotted hints of several more automatic Find My Device opt-ins coming to your Android device.
