From the article, your device needs to be charging with location turned on. I don't think that's what the majority of the people do. That and probably a small sample size for the alert to be reliably sent to other devices.
Do folks often manually disable their location services?
I do for my own when not in use and have seen others do the same. The worst i have seen is people disable data.
I disable my location / mic / camera when not in use.
I used to years ago, in the era of Galaxy S2 and such when battery life was a luxury.
I can't think of a time in recent years where I've seen anyone doing that TBH. I know certain people who turn off the wifi router during bedtime.
Same here. I used to do it when location permissions weren't as robust as well. I don't bother anymore.
I disable things i don't use such as location, mobile data, wifi, bluetooth and rotation.
I keep mine off except when driving or when I want GPS-tagged photos. Saves me a bit of battery life.
My phone is always with me in my pocket so I don't feel the need to track its location using "Find My". And to be honest, no one is going to find stealing a Pixel 6a enticing..
