Allow Google Find my Device to support Charge 5/Charge 6

Google has released the new "Find my Device" dashboard, but Fitbit Charge devices are not supported. Now, if even a Bluetooth speaker like JBL Flip 6 can make it, I believe time has come for Fitbit devices (starting with Charge 5 and 6) to be tracked for safety / retrieval purposes.

Moderator edit: Clarified subject
This is needed because:
However unlikely, it is possible to lose a fitness tracker during intense workouts, outside of Bluetooth range. Including Fitbit Charge models in the "Find my Device" network by Google could help retrieve lost devices in the wild.
I'd use this: Once in a while

ABSOLUTELY agree! Due to the very flimsy strap design, I lost my Fitbit last summer in a forest, while pruning trees. Fortunately, I was able to do the math on the ~10m bluetooth range and triangulate to eventually find it.  Sure would have been helpful to get more precise direction:-)

  • YES PLEASE! How this is not on the Find My Device app is incomprehensible. Both are Google products??? Please add.
