Find My Device on Android

I had a number of Tiles over the years and really wanted to like them, but really didn't. I lose stuff infrequently enough that the battery in the tiles would die 2-10 times before I was likely to lose my keys/wallet. The TV remote, the tile was something my son (the primary loser) would fiddle with constantly and destroy. I carried a dead Tile Pro on my keys probably 95% of the time I carried it.

The one place I'd really like a tile is on my Pixel Buds, but a Tile is a significant %age of the size of the case, and again not something I need super frequently.

Do the Pixel Buds not have a Find feature? I have the same experience as you with Tile, but I use the "Find" feature on my iPhone to locate my AirPods all the time.

Yes, Find My Device was activated on my pixel last night and had an entry for my pixel buds.

They do, but it doesn't work very well. For example, if I go into "find my device" it says my buds are at the gym. When I lost them a few months ago it said they were at the hospital, but I eventually found them at home.
