    It runs on Google’s Find My device network. All android smartphones which support the latest location reporting are supported. Though, how it works in practice can be different.

      I thought that wasn’t launched yet? Do they backport and enable that per default to compete with the mass of iPhones, or is it going to be a rare occurence that a tracker gets reported?

        It should be compatible on most android smartphones running the latest version of play services. The default should work for lost smartphones and items in high traffic areas. So, tracking in low density areas may be spotty.

      How do I check if I have the latest location reporting support? And then turn it off?

          I do not have that app. I thought it was baked into google services which I haven’t 100% gotten rid of, still on OEM and not lineage or graphene.
