Google has launched a new Find Hub feature for Android that helps users remember where they placed important belongings. The rollout begins today across the Android ecosystem.

The Find Hub feature addresses a common frustration: forgetting where you left your keys, wallet, or other essentials. Users can now log item locations within the system, creating a searchable record to reference later. Google is simultaneously rolling out additional updates. The company announced a new visual assistant for Gemini Live, expanding the AI's capabilities beyond text-based interactions. Keep, Google's note-taking app, is also integrating with Messages, allowing users to share notes directly through text conversations. The anti-nausea dots feature is also becoming official as part of this update, though details remain limited. These dots appear to address visual comfort concerns for some users. All features are beginning their rollout today and will be distributed across Android devices over the coming weeks. The timing suggests Google is bundling multiple productivity and utility improvements in a single update cycle.
