darrsilGoogle delays launch of Find My Device network and trackers, benefiting Apple
amenotefI really want this. But at the same time I’m really worried about how much battery life this is going to drain.
If it’s 1% every 24 hours. If it’s more, nope.
IzzyThere must be a way to completely opt out and not have this affect your device in any way right?
HeartyBeastI can’t see why not. With Apple it is a simple on-off toggle for each device and of turned on the user chooses one device that they want to use to indicate their location
But we are talking about having our device inadvertently used by Google to locate other peoples devices. They are advertising that they have a network of over a billion android devices to locate such things. Not only do I not want to buy a tracker I also don’t want to participate in this network.
SerinusI’m okay with helping people find their things. Especially if I’m in an airport or generally in public.
Maybe I’d want it off when I’m connected to my home WiFi.
It’s not really the thing that is important. On principal I disagree with the idea that it isn’t opt-in only. Then ontop of that if there is no way to even opt-out that is crossing the line. It doesn’t matter what it is or what it is for.
