Google might be working to compete with Apple’s device-locating network

Washington: American technology giant Google might be working on turning Android phones into a hivemind capable of finding lost devices, similar to what Apple’s Find My network does.

According to The Verge, a toggle for this new feature recently showed up in a beta version of Google Play Services, with code referencing the ability for phones to help locate other devices, potentially signalling that Android phones could soon become easier to find.
