   Hey, question. I'm getting notifications from Google asking me to add my new (or effectively new, post-wipe) phone to the "Find My Device network". This is confusing to me because I can open up Google Find My Device and it can *see* the device, now, as is, and ping it and stuff. So what's this screen? Is this exclusively about the secondary network where it's tracking the locations of Bluetooth devices and other phones will tattle on my location when the cell modem is off? Cuz I don't want that
