Samsung has just launched the app that its Galaxy has long had to have. Especially since the launch of the first SmartTag. This is an application called ‘Samsung Find’ or ‘Search Engine’ in Spain and Duplicate ‘Search’ app on iPhones, but on Samsung Galaxy.

Next, Let’s see what ‘Samsung Find’ is likeSince it’s not as easy as going to the Google Play Store and getting it, I’ll tell you what you can do with it and, above all, how to download it.

Samsung is getting serious about making sure we can find our devices

Samsung ecosystem is taking steps in the right direction. It’s the app most similar to what Apple has developed, and one of the best apps on iPhone, Mac, and iPad is Search.

It is an application that allows us to know where our mobile phones, the mobile phones of the people on our list, our headphones, devices such as AirTag or Apple Watch are located. Samsung also had this function, albeit slightly reduced.

First of all, it wasn’t as powerful as Apple’s offering, and on top of that, it was inside the ‘SmartThings’ app. This app has all the brand’s devices, from washing machines to televisions to refrigerators and vacuum cleaners, so it’s more like a home automation app like Alexa or Google Home than a device search app.

Therefore, the launch of ‘Samsung Find’ or ‘Search Engine’ is good news. Now, on the subject standalone app this allows us to let others see our mobile phone (a useful thing in case it is lost), locate our devices and Smart Tags, which Samsung calls ‘Items’.

This way we still have SmartTag options in SmartThings, but it now takes us to ‘Search’ if we want to check its status or location. Then, SmartThings remains the home automation app and focuses on our ‘Finder’ devices and their locations.

The options we can do are the ones we have so far, such as viewing the map with location history, playing audio on the device to find it, and using advanced positioning systems if we have a UWB compatible accessory and mobile phone. to track the object.

How to download ‘Search’? Here, as Samsung gets used to us, we have to turn to the Galaxy Store. Search for the app by name or download it from this link and… that’s it.

Frankly, This is an application for Galaxy devices and actually everything stays at home. If we want to share our location or know where our family and friends are, they will also need to have a Samsung Galaxy.

Now we have to wait for news in the form of updatesLike an automatic notification system when we leave a forgotten object somewhere, such as a wallet with SmartTag 2.
