I’ve been using Samsung for so long that I didn’t realize the rest of the ecosystem doesn’t have this.
Its so frustrating, because I end up backing up to both systems because each offer something different.
I really want this. But at the same time I’m really worried about how much battery life this is going to drain. If it’s less than 1% every 24 hours I’m ok with it. If it’s more, nope.
Google in the past years is focusing a lot in adding more and more services while forgetting that what the people just want is to have a phone that lasts the entire day and can fit in normal pockets.
I have the pixel 7, and I have found that not having any friends, and surfing the net on other devices really helps the battery to last 2 days!
Samsung’s and Apple’s have negligible battery drain.
There must be a way to completely opt out and not have this affect your device in any way right?
I can’t see why not. With Apple it is a simple on-off toggle for each device and of turned on the user chooses one device that they want to use to indicate their location
But we are talking about having our device inadvertently used by Google to locate other peoples devices. They are advertising that they have a network of over a billion android devices to locate such things. Not only do I not want to buy a tracker I also don’t want to participate in this network.
Benefitting Apple
U mad?
Please don’t needlessly antagonize people here. Thanks.
You can tell this dude didn’t read the article. Google is delaying this due to apple’s failure to add unknown tag alerts for anti- stalking reasons.
