The feature, dubbed as “Find Fam & Friends” has been added to Pixel devices as a part of the March 25 update and it will become available to all users globally in a gradual manner over the coming weeks.
iPhone’s Check-In adaptation
Apple also introduced a similar feature almost two years ago called “Check-in” and Similar to iPhone, the new Find Fam & Friends feature aims to make it easier for users to find friends or notify friends and family when you reach to a certain location. It could be a mall, a party place or even when getting back to home from office and other places.
Integrated within Find My app
Google has integrated this feature into the Find My app via a new “People” tab and it allows users to share their live and even current location with friends and family.
