Samsung’s SmartThings Find is the counterpart to Apple’s Find My network. The service reached a new milestone when Samsung announces that SmartThings Find has reached 200 million “nodes” around the world that help locate lost and found devices. A node is any Samsung device that has been activated in SmartThings Find.
We are proud and excited to see the rapid growth of the SmartThings Find service. In less than two years, 200 million devices have decided to help other Samsung Galaxy users find their lost devices, making it one of Samsung’s fastest growing services. – TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Mobile Mobile Experience Business
Any Samsung Galaxy smartphone registered to the SmartThings Find network can find their devices, wearables, or Smart Tags and participate to help others find their lost items. Samsung has launched Galaxy SmartTag and SmartTag + which use low energy Bluetooth and UWB (ultra broadband) to track nearby devices.

If a device or item with a SmartTag is lost, nearby Galaxy devices registered on the SmartThings Find network can transmit the item’s approximate location securely and anonymously. Device IDs on the network change every 15 minutes and are stored securely with encryption. The SmartThings Find app also has a tool for manually discovering unknown SmartTags that the user may unknowingly be carried away.
