🔰 Find My Device – looking for a lost device without Google
🚩 Hashtags: #GeoLocation #soft #security

💡 Google has one very useful feature in terms of device security, which at the same time binds users to the Google ecosystem. It’s the Find My Device feature, and it ties people in for two reasons.

⚙️Во first, the feature is usually built into Android, and second, the device’s location data is broadcast via Google’s server = required by Google Play services. In the case of the free Find My Device alternative of the same name, the device can send its geolocation to the user’s server.

📌 Details
