Google has launched a 'Notify when left behind' feature for its Find Hub app, sending alerts when you leave a tracking device or its attached item behind. The update mirrors Apple's long-standing separation alerts and Samsung's SmartThings functionality, helping users recover lost items before traveling too far. To activate the feature, open Find Hub, select a tracker, tap Settings, and enable the notification.
The system excludes your designated Home address on Google Maps to avoid false alarms. Currently available in the US and parts of Europe, the feature works across brands, including Moto and Chipolo trackers connected to Android devices. This rollout was first reported by 9to5Google.
