I wanted to post this because I didn't see any discussion in the original blog post [1] about the actual privacy and security implications of Find My Device. In particular:
1. I usually have Bluetooth turned off on my phone for security reasons, will this respect that?
2. While Google tells us that the information will be encrypted, it seems to me that having your phone constantly pinging on Bluetooth (if this cannot be disabled per #1) is still a security/privacy leak in some situations, and something users should be aware of.
At any rate, I wanted to see this get more discussion before it goes live on a bunch of devices.
