Google delayed launching Find My Device network, waiting for Apple to follow up.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, July 28 (Xinhua)-- Google announced the launch of "find my device" (Find My Device Network) in early May, with the goal of serving more than 1 billion Android devices worldwide to help users find lost devices.

Google announced in May that the Find My Device network will be compatible with Tile, Pebblebee and Chipolo Bluetooth trackers, the first two of which are already accepting preorders, while Chipolo announced an extension two weeks ago.

Google had planned to launch Find My Device Network "this summer", but Google said it had decided to postpone its launch because Apple did not provide the necessary features on iOS.

Google said the main reason for the delay was the tracking alarm function, which will automatically alert users if suspicious unknown trackers are detected nearby.

Google says all Find My Device-compatible Bluetooth tracking devices support Android unknown tracker alerts, but iPhone currently does not have a similar detection feature.

Google says it will not launch a Find My Device network until Apple imposes protection on iOS.

CTOnews.com translated Google content as follows: "by ensuring that iPhone users can also find Bluetooth tracking devices compatible with Find My Device, it is expected to reduce the number of people using the device to track Apple users without their knowledge."
