The ultimate guide to Google's Find My Device features
Next time you misplace something important, don't panic! Let Google's Find My Device app and a Chipolo Point tracker be your trusty sidekicks.
This time we took a step back and took a hard look at what we’ve created so far. We found room for improvement, so we decided to do some spring cleaning of our own.
We update the app regularly, but that’s no big news since we continuously focus our efforts on better connectivity, less power consumption, and fixing any bugs that might come up as soon as possible.
With this update, we took some time to listen to what our community was saying and decided to make the app as user-friendly as possible. We implemented some major changes which resulted in a different design. One that we hope will make the whole experience a simple and easy one, starting with the first step in the setup, all the way to the last one where you’re looking for your misplaced item.
So what’s new?
Loads, but most of it is in the background, so we’ll just focus on the two most noticeable features, to keep it short and sweet.
The app will now take you through each feature step by step, so you can decide what best suits your needs. Enable or disable as you go along like a pro and avoid rummaging through the settings later to adjust features and permissions.
We also added a few new custom avatars to the mix to help you find what you are looking for with even more ease. Just check the map and tap on the icon that shows your item. Or swipe through the cards at the bottom of the screen until you’ve found what you are looking for. Don’t stop with your everyday items; tag your luggage, your teddy bear, and even your umbrella, and make sure you find everything that matters in seconds!
We did our best to make it easier for you
Why should you sweat the small stuff, when there’s an easier, smart way to do it? Check out our revamped app and give it a try. We’re sure you’ll love it, just like we do!
