Find my mobile

Lost your device?
Now it's even easier to find it.

No need to panic, we'll get your Galaxy back. Find My Mobile gives you access to the location of your device, even when it's offline. You can also backup its data to Samsung Cloud, block access to Samsung Pay, and even control it remotely – all on the Find My Mobile website. And with the SmartThings app, you can locate your other Galaxy devices through SmartThings Find.

Offline devices
can still be found

Once Offline Finding is enabled, your Galaxy is detectable as long as it's turned on - even when mobile data is disconnected. Other Galaxy devices will participate in the search for your Galaxy as 'helpers', sending signals into the server that share your lost phone's location. So enable offline finding and become a helper now and you'll be in good hands in the case of a missing device later on.
