The Find My Device app that is available on Android, is now able to find your fast pair-enabled wireless earbuds. These include the Pixel Buds, and a number of other earbuds and headphones out there.
If you open the app, and scroll to the far right, you will see all of the headphones that are on your account, that Find My Device can find. On my account, this includes the Pixel Buds, JBL Club One (over-ear headphones) and the LG HBS-FN6. There are many others out there, but not Samsung’s headphones. The Buds series have their own Find My Buds feature located in the Samsung Galaxy Wearables app.
Find My Device is going to mean more than just smartphones
While the app and service has always been called „Find My Device” it has always meant smartphones. Nothing else. Maybe a tablet if you use an Android tablet at all.
But now, it looks like Google is going to be expanding Find My Device to more devices, and making the „device” part of the name sound a lot more accurate.
All fast pair-enabled headphones should be showing up in the Find My Device app, and we should be seeing more accessories coming in the very near future to the app.
That’s going to make the app a whole lot more impressive, and useful.
The app will find your device the next time you connect. And even when you disconnect, it will save that last position. So it’s not constantly tracking you headphones. Which can be both good and bad. Good that it’s not using up all of the battery in standby. But bad because if you are carrying them around in your pocket, it’s not tracking that location.
No official announcement from Google yet
Google has yet to announce that fast pair-enabled headphones work with Find My Device, though. So it could go away at any point. As Google might just be testing it out. Though it does seem unlikely, since almost everyone with a fast pair pair of headphones has this enabled on their phone.
We may see Google officially announce that fast pair headphones work with Find My Device in the next couple of days though. Or Google may just wait until more accessories work with it, before making the announcement. It really depends, and Google doesn’t announce everything that it does either. So that’s worth thinking about too.
