Google is rolling out two new updates to its unknown tracker alerts feature that should make it easier for Android device owners to detect unfamiliar trackers, the company announced on Wednesday. Introduced in July 2023, the safety feature automatically sends notifications if an unwanted Bluetooth tracker is traveling with you.
The first update lets Android phone owners temporarily stop sending location updates to the Find My Device network if an unknown compatible tracker is detected.
