microG Find My Device Hub: What Works and What Does Not
microG added optional Google Find My Device Hub support in version 0.3.14.250932, released on April 10, 2026. The feature remains available in microG Services 0.3.15.250932.
When enabled, it connects your Android device to the Google account used by Find My Device Hub. You can then sign in through a web browser on another device to locate your missing phone.
What microG Supports
Finding Your Own Phone
microG can register a supported phone with Google Find My Device Hub. This lets the account owner look for that device through the web interface while signed in to the same Google account.
The microG release notes specifically confirm browser-based device finding. They do not claim full support for every feature available on phones running standard Google Play Services.
Optional Account Connection
Find My Device support is optional. microG states that no extra data is sent to Google when the user has no Google account or leaves the feature disabled.
Review the setting before enabling it if you use microG to limit your reliance on Google services. Device location requires sharing relevant account and location data with the service.
What Is Still Missing?
Nearby-Device Network Participation
microG does not currently contribute to Google’s Find My Device network. This means a phone running microG does not help the crowdsourced network detect and report nearby lost devices, trackers, or accessories.
Google’s wider Find Hub network uses participating Android devices to help locate items, including some that are offline. That network role is separate from registering your own phone so it can be found through your account.
The microG Project describes network contribution as unsupported “yet,” but it has not published a confirmed release date for that feature.
How to Enable Find My Device Hub
- Install a supported current microG Services release.
- Add the Google account used for device finding.
- Open microG Settings.
- Find the Google Find My Device option and enable it.
- Allow the location and background permissions requested by your setup.
- Sign in to Google Find Hub from another browser and check whether the phone appears.
Menu names may differ by Android version, custom ROM, and firmware. You can review the current package details on the latest microG Services download page.
What to Check If the Device Is Missing
Confirm that the correct Google account is active, location access is allowed, and microG background services are not restricted by battery optimization. The phone may also need an internet connection to report a current location.

Do not assume that Find Hub network tracking, nearby tracker reporting, or every offline-finding function works through microG. The confirmed support covers connecting your own device to the Hub for browser-based finding.
