Use SmartThings find to track, lock, or erase your devices

The SmartThings Find feature in the SmartThings app will help you locate your missing devices, like your phone, tablet, watch, and earbuds. SmartThings Find will scan for your devices and even show you a map with detailed information, including addresses and timestamps. You can also share device information with other Galaxy phone users so a friend can locate a device for you.

You can also use the SmartThings Find website! You’ll be able to remotely track and locate your devices from the website, as well as lock your device and erase your device’s data so no one will be able to access your information.

If your device is nearby but you still cannot seem to find it, you can make your device ring or play a sound to help you locate it.
