Ring Introduces “Search Party” Feature, Sparking Privacy Debate
Written by DJ Sight on February 12, 2026
Ring’s new AI “Search Party” feature helps find lost pets by scanning nearby Ring camera footage and alerting owners if a match is found.
While Ring says it has reunited pets daily, cybersecurity experts warn about privacy risks and the broader network access users may not realize they’re joining.
Some people have disabled the feature, while others support it.
Users can turn it off in the app’s Control Center.
