Google's Find Hub is finally letting you locate people directly from your watch

Google's Find Hub feature on Wear OS now includes a "Find people" app, allowing users to locate others directly from their watch. This feature was previously only available for tracking devices. According to Android Authority, users can see who can see their location and for how long, but they still need to start sharing their location from their phone.

The "Find people" app on Wear OS shows a list of people who can see the user's location, along with the duration of the sharing session. However, 9to5Google notes that the app does not display a map view on the watch, instead providing a link to view the person's location on the phone.

The update to Find Hub on Wear OS is rolling out via the Play Store, with version 1.0.429.0 being released. Android Authority mentions that on an LTE watch, the user's location can continue to be shared even if they leave their phone behind.
