So I have an AT&T Note 20 Ultra... Finally setting up my phone I think I saw a notification to set up Find My Phone but busy setting other things up so I ignored thinking I can go back to it. After reading this post about it working fine on AT&T ordered phones I wanted to see what this is all about but I can't find any app/icon for it.

Can you tell me where I can find it? Or do I have to download it? "Find My Phone" on Samsung Store? Thanks.

Thanks you two. Guess it works :) I see the benefit of Send last location and Offline finding... Do you thing uses any much battery to run I'm guessing constantly in the background?

It has much more features than Google's find my device and it shouldn't impact battery

Funny, I just discovered today that Samsung's Findmymobile is not finding my Note 10+, while it finds my N20U as well as my Note 9 fine.

Both Note 10+ and Note 9 are originally ATT phones, unlocked.. Note 10+ currently does not have a SIM, and the Note 9 has a T-Mobile SIM.

Then I saw this thread. lol I just happened to go on that site since I haven't in such a long while.

I turned on buds live and the wearable app and it led into Smart Things find. I noticed my device was showing in there so then I checked find my mobile to confirm since I believe that is where smart things feeds from. It also picked up the name of the device so something took time to kick in.

Check your's

I used to be able to find my galaxy buds live when they were still in the charging case and now all of the sudden they can't be located. My watch and note 20 ultra locate normally.

Mustang had an issue on t-mobile on his just like mine on Verizon. I don't know what changed but it cleared up on Verizon. Mustang was going to check his on t-mobile later on so hopefully its back to normal.

When my wife went 4 counties away, I used find my mobile to track her and make sure she was o.k.

Half the time it wouldn't track her.
And if you tried to update where she was.
It would time out.
You looked too many times.
BS.

The iPhone not only tracked her..
It would update everytime you hit it.
It would even show you the building she was at.
You'd think Samsung could copy that.
