One Redditor tested Google's Find My Device network against Apple's Find My Network by shipping an AirTag and a Pebblebee tracker to a different state and tracking the package through the respective apps.
The Pebblebee Tracker struggled to provide location updates, while Apple's AirTag consistently updated throughout the journey.
Google's Find My Device network is still nascent and opt-in, limiting its effectiveness compared to Apple's Find My Network. Google is reportedly working on improving its network's speed and reliability.

I tried opting-out. There's no way to do this account wide; the setting has to be changed per-device. I didn't really like that.

I use GrapheneOS, so it just doesn't exist on my phone at all. I want nothing to do with this feature whatsoever.
