Find My Device nag

Got a Xiaomi Note 10 recently (Android 11). I have "location" off for
everything.

Every week I get a notification (from Xiaomi, Android, Google, or
Vodafone or whoever) to switch on "Find My Device". There's no point as
I don't have location switched on, and it isn't going on.

Anyone else get this message if "Find My Device" isn't switched on? Is
there a way of stopping this specific nag?

Does it show which app the notification comes from - ie is it a 'Find My
Device' app, or a system notification? If it's from an app, you can go into
settings and remove notification permission from the app.

(no idea where exactly, I've not used Android 11 and they keep moving things)

I think it's a system notification as it doesn't appear in any of the
"chat" messages. I was in a Vodafone shop today and asked if they sent
the message. They said it was from Google. If that's the case, I doubt
I'll be able to stop it as Google run the OS!
