Google's Find Hub app has recently hit a significant milestone, surpassing 1 billion downloads on the Google Play Store. This achievement comes after the app underwent a rebrand earlier this year, evolving from the Android Device Manager to Find My Device and now Find Hub. The app's journey began in 2013, and it has since become an essential tool for Android users, offering location sharing and device tracking features.
In July 2024, the app reached 500 million downloads, and since then, Google has introduced exciting updates. The app now includes a 'People' tab powered by Maps, allowing users to share their locations with friends and family. The Find Hub rebrand was announced ahead of Google's I/O 2025 event, and the app has received Material 3 Expressive tweaks for Android 16, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Google has also expanded the app's capabilities with the introduction of more trackers and devices, as well as UWB support. Looking forward, the company has teased satellite connectivity to keep users connected even without cellular signals, and airline integration is on the horizon to help locate lost luggage.
This year, Google has achieved several notable milestones on the Play Store, including 1 billion downloads for Find Hub in October. Other apps to reach this milestone include Google Home in April, Files by Google and YouTube Music in January, and Gboard, Google Meet, and Google TV in February and May, respectively.
