Google finds my network of devices for Android started slowly, to say the least, but it has gradually improved. Now, we finally have a few figures to save these improvements, because Google has confirmed that the my device search network is faster to find items, and that “more” users have changed the default confidentiality parameters.
When the Android research network was launched for the first time, it immediately became clear that it could not compare itself to Apple or Samsung alternatives in terms of speed at which trackers are found. A user sadly sent an AirTag and a PEBBLEBEE TRACKER by post, only to see the Android tracker never found in his final destination.
As we noted for the first time in January of this year, Google has made improvements. The monitoring speed was significantly faster, with a motorcycle label that we have often tested recognized and updated in an application faster than an Airtag. It has always been incoherent and there are many other problems, but things have evolved in the right direction.
Google has since confirmed that, yes, things are improving. Talk to The penisGoogle says that the search for my network of devices for Android is 4x faster than at launch. This specifically refers to the elements found and updated in the FMD application, at least in the internal tests of Google.
Improvements apparently come from “continuous algorithm and technical improvements under the hood”. Google has specified that these improvements include modification of the frequency and duration of Bluetooth scanning, which facilitates the word of devices and trackers. Google also adds that “plus” users move from default default research confidentiality parameters, allowing the network to operate in “all areas” instead of simple “high traffic” locations. Google began to display users notice in the application last year on how to modify this parameter, but “high traffic” is always the default setting.
Google has also mentioned that more information on UWB assistance arrives “very soon”, although it is not clear if it is really about to deploy, or if Google is simply preparing to make other announcements. With Google I / S just at the corner of the street, it seems to be an ideal moment. The motorcycle tag remains the only FMD tracker with the cooked UWB equipment.
This message of The penis Immerse yourself in a test of the research network on Apple and tile networks, and ends with the conclusion that “it is quite indisputable that Google finds my network of devices is still not as good as Apple finds that I really find things”, noting that Google’s decision to make the network more private and less functional is the reason for this – something that we also discussed last year – and not the real network of the network.
