We all have been in a situation when we kept our phone somewhere and forgot where we kept it. It is very irritating and, at the same time, scary if it happens in public areas. Because someone may steal the phone or try to sneak into the private information we don’t want somebody to see/know. To avoid such situations, Samsung Find My Mobile option is available to find your phone quickly before it gets into the wrong hands.
With the One UI 4.1, all of the stock apps got revamped, and Samsung Find My Mobile has undergone a few changes. After those changes, the performance of Find My Mobile has improved a lot. The most helpful feature of Samsung Find My Mobile is that it lets you know the location of your device even though it is offline. So finding your device becomes a lot easier than before.
