Google’s Find Hub Finally Speaks Distance Your Way

Google’s Find Hub Finally Speaks Distance in Your Own Language — a smart update making device tracking clearer, personal, and more intuitive than ever.

Google’s Find Hub Finally Speaks Distance in Your Own Language

Not every Google app reaches billions of downloads, but some quietly become indispensable. Find Hub is one of those hidden gems — a sleek, reliable companion for anyone who’s ever misplaced their Android phone or Bluetooth accessory. And now, with its latest update, the app becomes even more intuitive, letting you measure distance the way you understand it best.

A Subtle but Meaningful Update

The latest Find Hub version (3.1.458) is now rolling out on the Google Play Store, though not everyone will see it immediately. According to 9to5Google, which first spotted the update, this release introduces a small but impactful improvement: distance unit customization.

Once the update arrives on your device, head to the Settings menu and look for a new option labeled “Distance units.” Tapping it reveals four choices — Use default, Metric, US, and UK.

It may sound like a simple tweak, but it reflects Google’s growing focus on localization and user comfort.

Why This Change Matters

Think about it: a person moving from New York to Paris suddenly finds their distance units displayed in meters and centimeters — units they rarely use. For someone used to measuring distance in feet and inches, this shift can be jarring.

With this new setting, you can now make Find Hub speak your language — or more precisely, your measurement language. Whether you track a Moto Tag, Pixel Buds, or Nest device, you’ll see distances displayed in units that feel familiar and intuitive.

This is especially useful for UWB-enabled (Ultra-Wideband) trackers, where precision matters. When you’re trying to locate your lost phone in a crowded café or under your car seat, knowing whether it’s “two feet away” instead of “0.6 meters” can make a big difference in how quickly you react.

How to Change Distance Units in Find Hub

To adjust your settings:

1. Open the Find Hub app on your phone.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top corner.
3. Select Settings → Distance units.
4. Choose US, UK, or Metric, depending on your preference.

That’s it — no more conversions, no more mental math. Just direct, localized tracking information that feels natural wherever you are.

More Devices, Broader Compatibility

The update doesn’t stop there. Google has also expanded the list of compatible devices supported by Find Hub. Newly added trackers and accessories now include models from Chipolo, Pebblebee, MiLi, Motorola, and Rolling Square — all of which can now be tracked directly through the app.

Finding these supported products is easier than ever. On the official Find Hub page, you can filter devices by category — such as Tracking Tags, Headphones & Speakers, or Embedded Tracking — to see everything that works with the system.

A Small Step Toward Smarter Tracking

Though this update might seem minor compared to flashy Android features, it’s a thoughtful improvement that enhances usability and personalization. By giving users control over something as simple as distance units, Google makes Find Hub feel less like a generic tool and more like a personalized assistant that adapts to your habits.

In a world where digital ecosystems often prioritize complexity, Find Hub’s new update reminds us that simplicity — when executed thoughtfully — can be a powerful form of innovation.

So next time you’re hunting for your misplaced earbuds or phone, remember: Find Hub now speaks your distance language whether that’s meters, feet, or miles.
