Google’s Find My Device App Now Supports People Location Sharing

Google has introduced an update to its Find My Device app for Android, allowing users to see the real-time location of friends and family who share their location. Previously, location sharing was primarily available through Google Maps, but now the Find My Device app integrates this functionality, making it easier to track both devices and people in one place. Users can access the new ‘People’ tab within the app, which displays contacts who have shared their location. The feature also includes options to manage sharing duration and permissions. This update aligns Find My Device more closely with Apple’s Find My app, which has a similar interface for locating both devices and people. The rollout follows Google’s broader March Android feature update, gradually making the feature available to more users. Additionally, the app also supports location sharing for users on iOS via Google Maps. This change enhances convenience for Android users by centralizing device and location tracking within a single application.
