    Didn’t the last few Pixel Pros have UWB hardware? Is that enabled yet?

      Yes, all pro models (plus the Fold) from the Pixel 6 series onwards have UWB support. And at least on my Fold, can be toggled on and off under “Connection preferences”. However, I don’t believe there is currently any system feature that actually utilizes it yet.

        It was one of the reasons I went with a Pro. Okay, it wasn’t a significant reason, but I was thinking about it.

        I was pretty disappointed when Google’s Find My Network didn’t support UWB on release. Here’s hoping they finally support it if/when they release their own tracker in the fall.
