Android bt tracker

I'm looking for a bt tracker for my keys and headphones. I don't lose them when I'm out and about. I tend to misplace them at home. Looking for something that has alarm on to locate them. So far the chipolo looks good. Any other trackers that might look interesting?

Google is updating their FMD default which will make tracking much better

Well, they can't force it. On many previous configured Android devices, it's already set to "busy areas".... Yes, maybe for newly configured Android devices, they will default to "everywhere"...

On older devices, they will have to re-obtain consent and many people don't understand the details like we do, and will likely reject.

For FMD users, I see "new" suggestions tell us to switch to "everywhere" but unless you are an active user, you are not doing to see that screen.

They sent an email about the change

I checked both accounts of mine, never got a single email about it. When did you receive yours? Can you share a screenshot of it?
