Google’s latest Play Services update has a neat trick for your lost belongings
Your keys can run, but Find Hub is getting better at chasing.
Google's October System Services update has introduced NFC support for Find Hub-compatible trackers, offering a convenient way to locate lost belongings. With this addition, users can now tap a tag against their phone to quickly view its details and settings. This feature also proves useful in identifying misplaced tags, which could be particularly helpful when a misplaced item is found.
The update simplifies the process of setting up Find Hub trackers, allowing users to assign names, choose categories, and enable features such as Left-Behind Reminders during registration. Additionally, card tokenization notifications will now include card artwork and logos of payment networks, while apps using Google Maps features will receive a minor attribution adjustment.
Overall, Google has enhanced the capabilities of Find Hub trackers, making them a more effective solution for keeping track of valuable items.
