A useful perk has been included in the latest Android update for Google TV that should make it easier to find missing remotes. Android Authority<\/em><\/a> reports that the beta release for Android 14 for TV \u2014 announced during last week\u2019s Google I\/O conference<\/a> \u2014 contains references to a new \u201cfind my remote\u201d feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One text string found within the update reads as follows:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is a button on your Google TV that you can push to play a sound on your remote for 30 seconds. This only works with supported Google TV remote controls. To stop the sound, press any button on your remote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n AFTVNews<\/em><\/a> found the same message is displayed on the Onn Google TV 4K Pro<\/a> streaming box that Walmart released earlier this month with support for the new find my remote feature. It also shows a toggle to enable or disable it, and a button to test the sound. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The remote-finding feature can be triggered by pressing a button on the front of the Onn streaming box, according to AFTVNews<\/em>, which then causes the bundled remote to beep and flash a small LED light if it\u2019s within 30 feet of the streaming box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Seeing support for find my remote in Android 14 suggests it isn\u2019t a Walmart exclusive and will be coming to other Google TV devices. Obviously, older Google TV remotes that lack a built-in speaker won\u2019t be able to support the feature even when connected to Google TV devices updated to Android 14. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
