Apple doesn’t have a checklist for its Find My network to operate, and we are glad that after all these years Google is finally close to bringing the offline option for its phone tracking. Google’s process to activate Find my device has been complex, wherein the company needs the Android phone to be turned on, location of the phone enabled and also signed in to the Google ID. The fact that the offline tracker was spotted in the Android 14 code doesn’t necessarily mean that we will see the feature in the next Android version, but we would like to act surprised if that does happen at the Google I/O 2023 keynote that happens next month.
