Google’s Find My Device network is great when it comes to locating your lost devices. However, the company felt that this could go a bit further. The Find My Device app just got a new update that adds a new People feature.
This is part of a greater update to the Find My Device app. The main changes happened to the Devices tab. When you access this tab, the first thing you’ll notice is the new view. Rather than a fullscreen list of your devices like before, you’ll see a split-screen view. The top half of the screen will show you a map with the location of your currently selected device. Under that, you’ll see a list of your devices.
Your list of phones and other devices will be more compact than before, but they’ll still show their pictures. When you tap on one of the devices, it will open a panel with additional options. One will play a sound to help you find it, one mark it as lost, and the last one will give you directions to find it.
Find My Device is getting a People function
The more notable update will help you find lost people. The People function was announced earlier in the month, and folks have been waiting for it. When you use this feature, people will be able to share their location data with others.
If you get the update, you’ll see a new People tab at the bottom of the screen. When you tap on it, you’ll still see the map screen, but the bottom of the screen will be different. You’ll see a New Share button that will allow you to choose who you want to share your location with. Sharing your location with someone means that they’ll be able to see your location.
When you tap on the button, you’ll see a popup appear with the available contacts you can share with. Right above that popup, you’ll see a dropdown that lets you set how long you want to share your location. You can choose between one hour, only for that day, until you turn it off, or a custom duration.
Once you start sharing your location, you’ll see a new panel at the bottom of the screen. It will be divided into two tabs. The first tab will show you all of the people sharing their location with you. The second tab will show you the people you’re sharing your location with.
This is a great feature for people who want to keep up with others. It can come in handy if you lose track of someone.
