That map might be all you need, but if the location shown isn’t specific enough you can use the ‘ring’ option, which will make your Samsung phone ring aloud even if it’s muted, so you’ll hopefully be able to hear it if you’re in the vicinity. Click the lost Samsung phone and you’ll be shown its approximate location on a map and presented with various options. You’ll then be shown a screen with a list of all your linked Samsung devices on the left. With that done, if you ever lose your Samsung phone you can head to the Find My Mobile site (opens in new tab) on a computer, click ‘sign in,’ and then enter your Samsung account details. You can also tap on this setting to open a screen with more options that you might want to enable, such as the ability to remotely unlock your Samsung phone. If not – or to check – head to Settings > Biometrics and security, and make sure the Find My Mobile toggle is switched on.

To use it, you first need to have enabled it, but the good news is that this happens automatically when you add a Samsung account to your phone, so chances are it’s already enabled.

Find Node devices do not indicate the exact location of the lost device.Samsung has created its own tool for helping you find the company’s gadgets, and this is called Find My Mobile.

To register a device as a Find Node, you need to agree to allow the use of your location information and the Privacy Notice.

To use SmartThings Find, ‘Allow this phone to be found’ in Find My Mobile settings must be turned on.

You can also locate lost devices using the SmartThings Find feature within the SmartThings app.

The connected phone or tablet’s Offline Finding settings will also be applied to your Galaxy Watch and Buds.

The Offline Finding feature for your Galaxy Watch and Buds can be enabled within the Galaxy Wearable app.

Additional devices will be added in the future.
