GoKawiilOnly Samsung's S Pen Pro supports SmartThings Find tracking
Samsung's SmartThings Find feature can locate only the S Pen Pro, which must be charged, paired to a Samsung account, and have offline finding enabled via SmartThings' Life > Find settings. Once set up, users can refresh its location, get navigation directions, or trigger a blinking light to locate it, relying on nearby Galaxy devices with offline finding enabled to relay its Bluetooth signal. Other S Pens, including the one bundled with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, lack location tracking but can trigger a 'left behind' warning if not returned to its slot.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The limited tracking support means most S Pen users, including recent Galaxy S26 Ultra buyers, have no way to recover a lost stylus beyond a warning notification, which could push some toward purchasing the separately trackable S Pen Pro. The reliance on other Galaxy devices for offline finding also means tracking accuracy depends on how many nearby phones have that setting enabled, which is not universal.
- Only the Samsung S Pen Pro works with SmartThings Find for location tracking.
- Offline finding must be enabled in advance on Galaxy devices to detect a lost S Pen Pro via Bluetooth.
- Other S Pens, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra's, only offer a 'left behind' warning, not location tracking.
