  "account": "Google is set to address one of Android's most pressing tracking issues with the upcoming Find Hub. The technology giant has been developing \"Left-Behind\" separation reminders for item tags, headsets, and other accessories that can be paired with the Find Hub. Users will have the ability to create trusted exclusion zones to disable separation alerts at specific locations, such as home. These zones can be set either globally or per device. Additionally, Google is introducing controls that allow users to move notification and reverse-ringing settings between devices without having to unpair and re-enroll their accessories. As Google prepares for the November 11 launch of its highly anticipated Pixel Tag, the company is working diligently to ensure that its tracking ecosystem is fully ready to support the new product. The Left-Behind reminders have made an appearance in the recent October Google Play Services Update changelog, and clues in the Find Hub code suggest that further progress is being made on these key tracking accessory features. This development should alleviate concerns for potential buyers of the Pixel Tag, as Google continues to strengthen its ecosystem of tracking accessories.",
