Explained in plain English
What is the 'Find Hub' network?
The Find Hub network is Google's system that lets Pixel Tags communicate their location. It leverages the vast number of Android phones worldwide, turning them into a collective search party for lost items. This global reach is key to making item trackers effective, as it means there's almost always a phone nearby to pick up a signal.
