Which Samsung S Pens can be located using SmartThings Find?

Not all of Samsung's S Pens are made the same. Only one of them can be found through the SmartThings Find network.

Which Samsung S Pens can be located using SmartThings Find?

Samsung's S Pen support is limited in its tracking capabilities through the SmartThings Find feature. The S Pen Pro, introduced with the Galaxy S21 Ultra in 2021, is the only S Pen officially compatible with this feature. However, it won't fit in the Galaxy S26 Ultra's built-in pen slot. Bluetooth support, which some S Pens offer, doesn't guarantee tracking functionality, as none of the built-in S Pens on recent models can be located using SmartThings Find.

To enable tracking, charge the S Pen Pro, pair it with your compatible device, and allow offline finding in SmartThings settings. Once enabled, you can track the pen's location through the SmartThings app. However, not all Galaxy phones or tablets support offline finding, so compatibility may vary.
