Google’s Find Hub adds a ‘Remembered’ tab so you can track items without a tracker

Find Hub's new Remembered tab gives you a single place to record where you stored physical items that don't have Bluetooth tags. You can tell Gemini the location by voice (for example, "I put my passport in the top drawer of my dresser"), type the entry manually, and attach a photo of the storage spot. Those saved notes live alongside normal Bluetooth-tracker entries in Find Hub.

The workflow is short. Open Find Hub or hold the power button to summon Gemini, state what and where you stored it, and the assistant saves that memory. Alternately, open the Remembered tab, add a name, type a location, include notes, and attach a photo if you want a visual cue. When you need the item later, ask Gemini where you put it or open the Remembered list.

Physical trackers work well for things you carry all the time, like keys or a wallet. They don't suit seasonal or rarely used items — passports, spare keys, boxed accessories — where affixing a tag is impractical. Remembered fills that gap: it's a lightweight way to log a location in seconds and retrieve it without switching apps.

The author tested Remembered with things he frequently loses: a second-car key, a camera adapter, sunglasses, and a daily notebook. Adding items took only a couple of seconds per item. The combination of a short text or voice note plus a photo made retrieval faster and more reliable than relying on memory. Photos were particularly useful for storage spots that are otherwise hard to describe.

Remembered appears as a new tab in Find Hub alongside Devices and People, keeping all item-location info in one place rather than scattering notes across different apps.

According to rollout notes, Remembered arrived as part of Find Hub updates tied to Android's recent feature drop. The feature requires devices running Android 16 or newer where Gemini and Find Hub are supported. The Remembered tab can be used by voice or manual entry and supports attaching photos to entries.

• Add a quick photo for storage spots that look similar (multiple drawers, boxes, or labeled shelves). Visual cues cut down on searching.

Remembered is explicitly manual: you tell Gemini or type where you put something rather than relying on automatic location sensing or a tracker. That design keeps the feature simple and fast, and stores the information in the same app you use for other device-location tasks.

If you lose track of items that don't make sense to tag — passports, adapters, spare keys, notebooks — Find Hub's Remembered tab provides a low-friction way to log and retrieve those locations. It combines voice, text, and photos inside the same Find Hub interface you already use for Bluetooth trackers.
