Samsung confirms the best new thing about its SmartTag 3 trackers

Broad Android support is official for the SmartTag 3.

Samsung has confirmed a significant upgrade to its SmartTag 3 trackers, which will now offer device support for both iOS and Android platforms. Past iterations of the SmartTag have only worked with Samsung Galaxy phones, but the company has now clarified that other Android models are also able to utilize the new tracker. The announcement comes as Samsung recently unveiled its latest tablets, the Galaxy Tab S12 Plus and Ultra, at a company launch event.

While these devices received much attention, the SmartTag 3 remains a key accessory in Samsung's lineup. Traditionally, the SmartTag2 had limited compatibility with only a select group of Samsung smartphones, including the Galaxy S24, S25, S26, Z Fold, Z Flip, and A series devices. However, the SmartTag 3 breaks these restrictions and can now be used with a wider range of both iOS and Android devices.
