In an update, for users of the Pixel Watch Google is set to roll out support for the Find My Device network on its smartwatch. This anticipated feature is expected to boost the security and traceability of the device proving to be a game changer, for fans of technology.
The recent version of the Pixel Watch app (2.5.0.652251118) has unveiled an option called “Find My Watch ” which allows users to remotely locate, lock and wipe their watch even if its offline. This feature utilizes the collaborative Find My Device network giving users the ability to track their Pixel Watch without needing an internet connection or cellular service.
Expanded Capabilities and Future Prospects
The Pixel Watch currently needs to connect to its paired phone or have service to show up on Find My Device. A new update is, in the works to remove this requirement giving users peace of mind in situations. With this feature users can choose whether they want the offline Find My Device option enabled or disabled giving them control over their privacy and security settings.
Although this feature is initially aimed at Pixel Watch users it’s likely to expand to Wear OS devices down the line. The Find My Device network, powered by Google Play services doesn’t seem limited by hardware specifications hinting at an availability across the Wear OS platform. Moreover Google is also looking into extending this functionality to accessories, like the Pixel Buds Pro enhancing its device ecosystem and overall user experience.
