## The skim

- **The feature:** Google Find Hub is rolling out "Notify when left behind" alerts for Bluetooth trackers on Android.
- **Who gets it now:** Observed on Chipolo trackers and Moto Tag in the U.S. and parts of Europe, on Find Hub about version 3.1.787-06\. Headphones are not included.
- **Home exception:** Your saved Home address in Google Maps is excluded by default, so leaving a tag at home should not ping you.

## What happened

Google previewed "Left-Behind Reminders" in Google Play services notes in October. On Nov. 5, [9to5Google](https://9to5google.com/2026/11/05/google-find-hub-tracker-alerts/?ref=skimwire.com) reported the toggle live in Find Hub. Engadget, Android Authority, and The Verge corroborated the rollout for tracker tags — not headphones — in the U.S. and Europe.

The in-app copy describes it as a way to "Receive a notification when this tag is separated from your phone." Outlets have not published a hard distance or timeout; treat it as a staged rollout, not a finished support document.

## How to turn it on

1. Open the **Find Hub** app.
2. Select a supported tag.
3. Tap the **settings gear** in the top-right of the bottom sheet.
4. Enable **Notify when left behind**.

The toggle is per tracker. For a longer walkthrough with troubleshooting and FAQ, see our guide: [How to turn on Notify when left behind in Google Find Hub](https://www.skimwire.com/how-to-turn-on-notify-when-left-behind-google-find-hub/).

## What it does not do (yet)

- It does not appear for headphones or other non-tracker device types in the reports we checked.
- Support beyond Chipolo and Moto Tag is unconfirmed — check the gear menu on your own tag.
- Google's Pixel Tag launch (Nov. 11 per prior coverage) is expected to expand the story, but left-behind for Pixel Tag was not independently re-verified for this edition.

## Why it matters

Separation alerts have been table stakes on Apple Find My and Samsung SmartThings for years. Find Hub catching up for Chipolo and Moto Tag closes a basic gap for Android tracker owners — as long as you remember to flip the switch on each tag.
