Google explains removal of Find Hub from Googlebooks

Recently, Google addressed a concern that many first-generation Googlebook owners had: the removal of Find Hub app support. The company explained that this decision stems from the differences in how phones and laptops handle device tracking. Specifically, the app is not optimized for tracking laptops, especially when they are closed or asleep.

This announcement is significant for users as it raises the question: how can they locate their expensive devices if they go missing? While Google indicated that users can still access the Find Hub website to locate other devices, it has not clarified whether this includes the ability to track Googlebooks or if an alternative solution is in the works.

## Why it matters The removal of Find Hub support has raised concerns among Googlebook owners who rely on this feature to safeguard their investment. The lack of a reliable tracking solution can leave owners feeling vulnerable to the loss or theft of their device.

## What we know Google has confirmed that the removal is based on the app's lack of optimization for laptops. Googlebook owners can continue to use the Find Hub website, but it remains unclear if their laptops can be tracked through this platform.

## What is still unclear It has not yet been confirmed whether Google plans to introduce a new tracking feature for Googlebooks or if there will be an app update addressing these limitations. Users are still awaiting more information on how to better protect their devices.
