Search Party is an in-app feature that allows Fi Series 3 and Series 3+ dog owners to call for backup when their dog is lost.
You can easily share a live location link by entering Lost Dog Mode, starting a Search Party, and sharing your dog's location via text or posting to a relevant group. This allows real-time collaboration by sharing tips and updates on your dog's whereabouts to bring them home safe as soon as possible.
