Offline Device Tracking Feature
Let us tell you that leaks of this feature have been coming out since last year, recent reports suggest that Android 15 can introduce offline device tracking. This feature will work similarly to Apple’s Find My Network, which will help users locate their lost or stolen devices even when they are not connected to the internet.

Will bring improvement in privacy
This new Find My Device network can not only increase the security of the device but will also improve privacy. Along with this, if someone tries to track the user by using a third party tracker without their consent, then the users will also get an alert about it. Currently, Google’s Find My Device network can track powered-on Android and Wear OS devices connected to the Internet.
Location will be available even without internet
This feature is going to prove to be quite powerful with the addition of offline device tracking, which will allow users to locate their devices even in situations where they cannot connect to the internet.
Feature will be available on these phones
If the claims made in the report prove to be true, then we may see this feature first on Google Pixel 9. After this the company will also offer it on Google Pixel 8. However, there is no information on whether this feature will be available on all devices because some changes are expected in the hardware for offline device tracking, which means that older models like Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel Fold will not support this feature.
