The redesigned Find My Device icon for Google displays ethereal fan-like structures that symbolize scanning and locating missing objects.

It's not surprising that there has been a dramatic increase in Bluetooth monitoring devices on the market given that the majority of people lose their possessions virtually on a daily basis.
