Google is reportedly working on adding new features to its “Find My Device” ecosystem and according to 9to5Google, the company is soon going to bring in the ability to track and find a lost Android smartphone by using other Android devices around it anonymously.

Cars that come with Android Auto infotainment systems will also be able to use this feature and can be ‘found’ using the same method.
