Default Here’s how UWB support in Find My Device will point you in the right direct

  • Strings of code offer more info on UWB tracking and AR support for Find My Device.
  • The code appears to reference how the app would direct a user to their lost item.
  • The features are not live yet.
A few months ago, we told you that Google was working on adding support for ultra-wideband (UWB) and AR to the Find My Device network. Today, we have some more information regarding these features.

To quickly catch you up, we discovered code references back in June that point to the Find My Device network getting support for UWB tech. The inclusion of this feature would give the network the upgrade it needs to go toe-to-toe with Apple’s Find My service, allowing for high-precision indoor location tracking. At the same time, we also found that Google was working on adding ARCore support to the service as well. We didn’t know what features ARCore would enable at the time, but we speculated that they could be AR directions that point you to where the tracker is, similar to what you get when using*the*Galaxy SmartTag 2 with the SmartThings network.
