Find Hub

Google's Find Hub app for locating, ringing or erasing your lost devices and sharing location with people you trust. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

Find Hub, previously Find My Device, is Google's app for finding things you own. It shows your phones, tablets, earbuds and tagged items on a map, rings them, and can secure or erase a lost Android device remotely, and it also handles live location sharing with friends and family. Whether this phone itself can be found is set in the phone's Google settings rather than in this app.

Also shown as Find My Device, Google Find My Device.

If you disable it

You can no longer locate other devices or items or share your location from this app. Check that finding this phone is still on in its Google settings before relying on it.

How to disable it

Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > See all apps > Find Hub > Disable.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.adm

adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.adm

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.adm

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.apps.adm

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Shows device and item locations from Google's Find Hub network, which Google says encrypts location data, and uses your location when you share it.
