In the near future, we will be able to track our Android smartphone even if it is turned off in the same way as it happens with various Apple devices. This was announced by insider Cuba Wojciechowski, who discovered data about a new feature in the Android 14 source code, which Google began sending out to developers through the early access program.
It turned out from the code that the feature would be called Pixel Power-off Finder (at least on Google Pixel phones). The goal of the Mountain View giant is to create a huge network of all Android devices and compatible Bluetooth-enabled accessories. The chip will be powered even when the device is turned off, thanks to which its location will be established through neighboring devices. This is the same principle by which the Apple network works.
We're wondering if existing smartphones will be compatible with the new feature, or whether it'll have to be built from scratch with next-generation devices. If Google implements the first option and makes the ecosystem available to all manufacturers, then due to the huge number of smartphones, tracking Android devices can work even more efficiently than on the iPhone. This will seriously spoil the life of thieves and scoundrels who like to keep lost phones for themselves, and not return them to their owner.
