    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?

      I have a pebblebee, which uses the FMD network.

      It’s pretty obvious that the network isn’t as robust as Apple’s. I expect it’ll improve.

        Hopefully but probably not as it seems everyone online wants to disable or turn off the initial minimal setting.

          I know that’s the general sentiment for online discourse. I think it amounts to a rounding error in terms of total population. I’m confident it’ll improve. Maybe never be better than airtags… But I expect better than now.

            Good luck. Don’t think it we’ll ever be better unless Google changes the default.

      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.
