Android has find my phone as well.
- SilverRed 5y agoThe ios one is just better. Or at least they present the features better. On Android I do not remember it being an app but instead a website you go to. On iOS the app has multiple functions, finding your phone/macbook/ipad, finding your friends if they enable location sharing, and finding your items via airtags. The latest version even lets you track your iphone while it is turned off via an airtags like function built in.
- TickleSteve 5y agoFYI: Its an app on Android also... and lets you find any registered device. Its up to you to get your friends registered on it tho. Airtags are different as there is no first party implementation, they're all 3rd party (Tile, samsung, etc).
- koyote 5y agoAnd Android has had it since 2013. I am not sure if it's simply bad marketing but I often feel like a lot of the features Android has are unknown to iPhone users (understandable) but also unknown to many Android users. I remember a colleague of mine getting an iPhone after being on Android for years. I asked her why she switched and she told me that there were all these great features her friend had told her about that iPhones had. Turns out all those features already existed on Android, they were just unknown to her.
- simondotau 5y agoIf a feature falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound? Less cryptically, if a user isn't aware of a feature, does it really exist for them?
