Signs of life for the “Find My Device” network launch?

It’s always been there, just hidden inside of Google play services without an icon. Play Wallet is the same way, still half-installed and functional even if you don’t have the app off of the play store.
Isn’t that just https://www.google.com/android/find/ ?
It even had the same icon.
Yes but the icon was different till today for me. This is the new tracking network logo.
There’s a new tracking network? Is it similar to Apple’s airtag stuff?
It was announced during latest android IO, they should enable the find my tile/chipolo/etc via a google play services upgrade
It’ll be glorious. Should be a much bigger network than Apple’s.
Bound to GooglePlayServices, unfortunately.
Or fortunately. Adoption would be very quick and degoogling takes care of the privacy aspect if you want to ensure you’re not part of it.
I just hate that 90% of the stuff that’s announced for the next major Android version is either part of Google Play Services (proprietary) or not part of the AOSP. Android is becoming less open source by the day. I would even argue that a pure AOSP phone isn’t usable nowadays.
