#Google borrows #iphone #itag always-on tracking feature: #Android 15 will allow compatible phones to be located even when they are switched off. The system works by allowing the handset to broadcast Bluetooth beacons to other Android devices that are part of the Find My Device network. The receiving devices will then encrypt and upload the device’s location, transmitting the beacon to Google’s server and allowing the device’s owner to see where it is.
