Published on September 12, 2021, Samsung's SmartThings Find network has made remarkable progress in just a year since its launch.
The network, launched in October 2020, aims to address the common issue of losing connected objects, particularly smartphones containing sensitive data.
As of now, the network has surpassed 100 million connected objects, including Samsung Galaxy phones, S pen Pros, smartwatches, earbuds, and everyday items like wallets and keys.
Locating Devices at an Alarming Rate ¶
According to Samsung, the SmartThings Find service is able to locate over 230,000 devices every day, a testament to its growing success.
TM Roh, President of Mobile Communications at Samsung, expressed pride in the service's rapid growth, stating, "We are incredibly proud of how quickly the SmartThings Find service has grown in less than a year, helping people worldwide locate hundreds of thousands of misplaced devices every day. SmartThings Find is another example of how Samsung creates meaningful new experiences that make life more convenient and less stressful."
Building on this achievement, Samsung has introduced SmartThings Find Members, a feature that allows users to add their family members' or friends' devices to their network, enabling them to locate each other's devices as well.
