My Android phone just notified me that the 'Find My Device' functionality will now use the Bluetooth of other phones to locate my device (and by extension my device's BT to find others)
It sounds like a cool idea until you realize it's also near constant surveillance of your location. It's also opt-out.
Is there any option left for Android phones that comes with no Google shit by now?
