New Delhi: Multi-national tech conglomerate Google is finally catching up with Apple and Samsung as the company prepares to launch its own location tags. According to GSM Arena, a tech-related news website, Kuba Wojciechowski and Mishaal Rahman’s investigation into the developer console of the Fast Pair feature now has a ‘locator tag’ as a listed device.
The codename of the product is ‘GroGu’, ‘GroGuAudio’ or ‘GR10’. It’s developed by the Nest team, but that doesn’t mean it will be a Nest product. ,Also Read: Lost Your Android Phone Or Is It Stolen? Samsung-iPhone-like app will help find Google’s Find My Device offline location,

Both the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro have a UWB module which has not been used as of now. This can be used to power the Nest speaker on and off, but the feature is still in development.
Google is also working with chipset manufacturers to enable Fast Pair support for Android products, allowing each manufacturer to develop its own trackers.
According to GSM Arena, a final Google Grogu announcement could traditionally be made in the form of Google I/O in May.
