This is the best summary I could come up with:

Google delayed launching its expanded Find My Device Network earlier this summer, but the latest version of the app sports a new icon and some strings that hint at what’s to come.

The new app icon switches from a green map pin depicting a phone to an abstract radar-like symbol in Google’s signature colors.

It’s likely that Google is opting for a design refresh to reflect plans to expand the Find My Device app into a full-blown network.

Meanwhile, Android expert Mishaal Rahman found a few interesting strings within the update that hint at what Google’s got planned for the Find My Device Network.

The code also contains hints at new item categories, customizable ring volume, and the ability to view a device’s battery levels.

Earlier this summer, Google said it delayed launching the network to allow Apple more time to implement unknown Find My Device tracker alerts for iOS users.
