    Kagi generated key points:

    • The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
    • The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
    • The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
    • The network has “aggregation by default” as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
    • The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user’s home address.
    • Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
    • The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
    • Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
    • The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android’s vulnerability rewards program.
    • Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.
