Google 's Find My Device network relies on anonymous crowdsourcing to track lost items.

The network can only track items linked to your Google Account, and Google says it uses end-to-end encryption.

There are privacy concerns, but you should be aware of them.

For some people, theft recovery will be the stronger concern, but it's not impossible to get stolen items back.
