Find My Device by Google might get a compass for more accurate tracking

Google has introduced an update to its Find My Device app for Android, version 3.1.148, which includes a new "compass" feature that provides directional guidance for locating lost devices. This feature is part of a strategy to incorporate Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology into the app, allowing for more precise tracking compared to traditional Bluetooth. While these features are not yet operational, their presence in the code indicates a future rollout. The integration of UWB technology is expected to enhance the app's tracking capabilities and improve user experience.

Find My Device prepares a ‘compass’ for finding trackers, likely for UWB support

Google's Find My Device network is set to receive enhancements, including the integration of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tracker support and a new "compass" feature in the latest app update (version 3.1.148). This compass feature will provide directional prompts to help users locate their devices, such as “Turn left,” “Turn right,” and “The device is behind you.” It aims to improve the existing functionality for locating Bluetooth trackers, which currently has limited precision. However, initial tests indicate that this new functionality is not yet operational.
