Google Pixel series is among those devices which prefer to offer more safety and features to its consumers all over the world and following that mindset, the company has introduced yet another key safety feature which is related to device tracking. With the latest update to the Find My Device feature, the tech giant now claims that the Pixel 8 series can be tracked even when the phone is switched off.

As per the tech giant, offline tracking is possible because of the special Pixel hardware which is a part of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. According to The Verge citing Google spokesperson Natalie Johnson, the Pixel 8 series has reserved power in the device for several hours and is channelled to the Bluetooth chip. With this, the users will be able to locate their devices for several hours even after their devices are switched off or drained of battery.
