- The built-in S Pen in Galaxy devices does not support this feature. Only the S Pen Pro, sold separately, is compatible.

- Open the SmartThings app on your Samsung Galaxy device.
- Go to the Life tab and tap the Find card. Then, tap More options (the three vertical dots).
- Select Settings > Allow devices to be found.
- Toggle the Offline finding switch to activate the feature.
- The S Pen Pro must be powered on for Offline Finding to work.
- You can also enable the Encrypt offline location feature to ensure only you can find your device.
