Android Find My Device trackers are starting to ship
Android Trackers Ship: Privacy Risk?
After Google's announcement last month about the Find My Device network for Android, the first trackers from Chipolo and Pebblebee are beginning to ship. These trackers, similar to Apple's AirTags, were delayed as they awaited updates from Apple for iOS 17.5, which introduced alerts for unwanted trackers. Now, as the network rolls out, customers who pre-ordered are starting to receive shipping confirmations.
