The network would default to only being active in \u201chigh-traffic\u201d environments and wouldn\u2019t directly force users into participating anyway. If they meet certain criteria, though, users will be automatically enrolled.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Google is expanding that criteria soon.<\/p>\n<p>Spotted by the folks over at Android Authority, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-find-my-device-network-automatic-opt-ins-apk-teardown-3536972\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may be preparing<\/a> some new triggers for automatic enrollment in the Find Hub network. These new triggers could simply include turning on your \u201cLocation\u201d setting, if you stop using older Android devices after setting up a new one, and more. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>To better communicate this, Google is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-find-hub-automatic-enrollment-opt-out-apk-teardown-3587297\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">apparently adding<\/a> a message that shows that your device will \u201cautomatically join the network in high-traffic areas within 2 days\u201d unless the user opts out.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/04\/26\/android-find-my-device-network-speed-uwb-improvements\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google said that the Find Hub network was improving in performance<\/a> with \u201cmore\u201d users switching to allow the network to work in \u201call areas.\u201d While these new changes likely won\u2019t help with that effort, they could result in more users participating in the network, which is good news for everyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/06\/25\/google-android-find-hub-privacy-setup-prompt\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google is also preparing a new change to Android setup<\/a> which prompts users directly to check their Find Hub privacy settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image_737310.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-684388\"  \/>New Find Hub enrollment message, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-find-hub-automatic-enrollment-opt-out-apk-teardown-3587297\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More on Find Hub:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google is apparently preparing for a change to Find Hub which would get more Android users enrolled in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":145842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-145841","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115028739185263365","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
