Google Announces Ultra-Wideband Support for Android Find My Device, Boasting 4x Speed Gains in Latest Update
Google has unveiled a major upgrade to its Android Find My Device network, confirming ultra-wideband (UWB) support is arriving very soon alongside a fourfold increase in tracking speed compared to its 2024 launch performance. The UWB integration will enable iPhone-level precision for locating compatible devices, allowing users to pinpoint items like behind furniture or within specific rooms rather than relying on broad location estimates. This follows earlier code leaks hinting at UWB adoption and addresses long-standing criticisms about Androids tracking lag compared to Apples AirTag ecosystem. Google attributes the speed improvements to network optimizations made since last years overhaul, which introduced offline tracking and third-party device compatibility. While testing reveals inconsistencies in dense urban areas, the upgrades position Find My Device as a stronger competitor in the crowded Bluetooth tracker market. The announcement comes ahead of Google I/O 2025, suggesting potential deeper ecosystem integrations, and marks a critical step in Androids strategy to unify device tracking under a single, precision-enabled platform.
