How to use SmartThings Find to locate a lost S Pen Pro

Last Update date : 2023-10-24

When you use Bluetooth or Air Command to pair your S Pen Pro with your Galaxy phone, you can use the SmartThings Find feature to see the location of the pen wherever it may be. If, for any reason, your S Pen Pro goes missing, SmartThings Find can scan for your device and provide a map that includes detailed data such as addresses and timestamps.

Notes:

  • You must sign into your Samsung account to use SmartThings.
  • The built-in S Pen does not support this feature. The S Pen Pro supports this feature as a separately available accessory.

If your S Pen Pro ever goes missing, the Offline Finding feature in SmartThings Find can help you locate your lost device, even when the pen is not connected. However, in order for it to work, you must first turn the feature on before your S Pen Pro is misplaced.
