Google’s Find Hub

Find lost devices and everyday items

Google’s Find Hub is a Google tool for locating Android phones, tablets and compatible Bluetooth accessories. It suits people who want one place to check where their devices are, whether an item is nearby or has been left somewhere else. A map shows the reported location, while nearby items can be made to play a sound to help find them around the home, office or car.

Useful when a device goes missing

Find Hub also includes basic remote security controls. You can lock a supported device, add a contact message to its lock screen, or erase its contents if recovery looks unlikely. Its wider Android finding network can help locate some devices and accessories even when they are not connected directly to Wi-Fi or mobile data. That makes it more useful for misplaced hardware than a simple on-device alarm.

Part of the Google and Android ecosystem

The app is best suited to users with several Android devices or compatible accessories. Wear OS support can let you look for a phone from a smartwatch, while location sharing provides a way to share your position with selected contacts for meetups or check-ins. Availability and results can depend on the device, accessory and network involved.

Rating in context

Google LLC’s app has a 4.27 rating from 1,589,789 reviews and an install range of 1,000,000,000+. Those figures tell a more useful story together than the score alone: Find Hub has both broad adoption and a very large volume of user feedback. The rating is therefore backed by substantial usage, rather than a small number of opinions.
