Google is apparently preparing for a change to Find Hub which would get more Android users enrolled in the network.

One of Google’s core efforts when launching the Find My Device network – now branded as Find Hub – was privacy. The network would default to only being active in “high-traffic” environments and wouldn’t directly force users into participating anyway. If they meet certain criteria, though, users will be automatically enrolled.

Apparently, Google is expanding that criteria soon.

Spotted by the folks over at Android Authority, Google may be preparing some new triggers for automatic enrollment in the Find Hub network. These new triggers could simply include turning on your “Location” setting, if you stop using older Android devices after setting up a new one, and more.

To better communicate this, Google is apparently adding a message that shows that your device will “automatically join the network in high-traffic areas within 2 days” unless the user opts out.

The added triggers were first spotted earlier this year, but this new message suggests that Google may intend to start rolling out these changes sooner.

Earlier this year, Google said that the Find Hub network was improving in performance with “more” users switching to allow the network to work in “all areas.” While these new changes likely won’t help with that effort, they could result in more users participating in the network, which is good news for everyone. Google is also preparing a new change to Android setup which prompts users directly to check their Find Hub privacy settings.
