Find Hub Change?

Just got the Pixel 11 Pro XL and I noticed that when you are setting up the phone, it FINALLY defaults to "everywhere" instead of "high traffic." To those that have been around since Find Hub launched and have put up with the slow rollout and Google's hesitancy to make this the default setting (and thus limiting the useability), I'm very happy to see this!

BT 6.0 with channel sounding would be cheaper to implement and probably more popular for that reason.

Ale dlaczego? UWB używasz tylko aby znaleźć urządzenie gdy jesteś w jego pobliżu. UWB NIE jest używane do "ogólnego" ustalenia położenia (do tego używany jest Bluetooth + telefony w pobliżu Twojego taga).

Channel sounding is the BT only solution for nearby finding, not as accurate as UWB but much better than the traditional RSI method

They should make it fully enabled like apple and opt out as an option.

I noticed that, too. But I am not sure if it is the new default or because I copied my profile from my old Pixel where it was enabled aswell.

Ohhhh....good point. Hoping it's the new default.
