According to 91mobiles, Google is preparing to bring the Power Off Finder feature to Android.
Ahead of its annual I/O event, Google has shared the early source code of Android 14 with OEMs that are enrolled in the Early Access Program (EAP). The source code includes a new Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) definition, called “hardware.google.bluetooth.power_off_finder.”
With the code content, Android may add precomputed Finger Network keys to the device’s Bluetooth chip. Through this, the Bluetooth function will keep turned on even when the phone is powered off due to low battery or in case of theft.
The Power Off Finder feature requires hardware support to keep the Bluetooth chip-enabled all the time so older devices may not get this feature.
