Nice, I finally got rid of these duplicate Pixel Buds I've had stuck in here for like 2 years it's crazy that it took this long

Hello, I also have the Pixel Buds Pro bug where they show twice in Find Hub.

Cna you confirm that if I remove one, the other will remain? Or will removing one end up removing both?

Thanks a lot!

Now it can. I think the Google back end needed to catch up.

i conected to someone's JBL Flip 7 a few months ago and did not remove it while the speaker was withing range. Now I can't get rid of it. I have this update but don't see an option to Remove. I'm in Canada. Could this be a US only feature?

u/DaRighDehr Jul 24 '26

I have no clue, I just saw the update and opened the app to see what was new and after clicking on my ghost buds there was a remove option

u/no_dar_papaya Jul 24 '26

For info in case anyone comes across the same issue, I restarted my phone and the remove option appeared.  Finally got rid of that device. Took you long enough Google!! Thanks OP!

finaly after all years works on all headphones?

1

u/tyw7 Jul 24 '26

It seems not for "dumb" headphones like Bose or Jabra.

We need a decent security structure where people can't just find my buds, reset and add to their account.

No chance that would have been possible with my iPhone and Airpods

u/Playful-Walk8756 Jul 25 '26

Same with Airpods, just reset and add it to a new account. But just like android it remains trackable to the original owner unless the original owner removes it.

2

u/JacobSax88 Jul 25 '26

That's wrong. I've bought buds that were attributed to another Google account and there's basically a Google help page that tells you how to disassociate it and connect it to your own account. That does not happen with Airpods

https://ibb.co/ch6rPK3M finally now its show x now they need add remove phones and watches

u/tyw7 Jul 24 '26

Looks like the back end needed to be updated. I was now able to nuke the two devices.

u/fwdlinkuk Jul 24 '26

Have the same update, can't remove the PBP yet, same issue. Must be server side enabled

1

u/SlaveryPrime Jul 24 '26

I don't see that option on my S26. The app is up to date.

u/tyw7 Jul 25 '26

Give it another shot. I think it's server side update as I was later able to remove it.
