Google has begun rolling out a "Notify when left behind" feature for its Find Hub network, which alerts users if they leave a tracking device or the item it's attached to behind. This functionality mirrors similar separation alerts previously introduced by Apple for its Find My network and Samsung for its Galaxy SmartTags. The feature can be enabled within the Find Hub app on Android phones and is currently available in the US and parts of Europe, working with various tracker brands. AI
