Any Samsung Galaxy smartphone registered with the SmartThings Find network is able to locate their gadgets, wearables, and Smart Tags and assist others in locating their lost stuff. Samsung has introduced the Galaxy SmartTag and SmartTag+, which utilise Bluetooth Low-energy and UWB (Ultra-wide band) to track adjacent devices.

If a device or item with a SmartTag is misplaced, Galaxy devices registered to the SmartThings Find network can safely and anonymously communicate the item’s approximate position. Device IDs on the network update every 15 minutes and are encrypted for secure storage. The SmartThings Find app also includes a mechanism for manually discovering SmartTags that the user may be carrying without their knowledge.
