Samsung yesterday announced that SmartThings Find has expanded to include 300 million ‘find nodes’, registered and opted-in devices that can help other Samsung Galaxy users find their devices.
This milestone demonstrates a swift and steady expansion for SmartThings Find, which has registered 100 million more nodes since July 2022, achieving 1.5 times growth in just 10 months. It also means a boost in the efficacy of the device location service, as each opted-in device has the ability to help locate another. The higher the number of devices, the more powerful SmartThings Find becomes for users.
SmartThings Find can quickly locate multiple types of Samsung Galaxy devices, including smartphones, tablets, watches and earbuds. It can also locate Galaxy SmartTag or SmartTag+[1] devices, which attach to items such as keys or luggage.
