Samsung has announced that customers will be able to scan for unknown Galaxy SmartTags trackers by using Samsung s SmartThings Find service.
The feature is called Unknown Tag Search, and it will be launched to the SmartThings app beginning next week.

Users will be able to scan their nearby area for any possible SmartTags that do not belong to them but that are moving along with them. This means users can know if someone is tracking them, according to XDA Developers.
This latest feature could be a massive win for safety, providing an easy way to make sure that no one is tracking the user with a small SmartTag that is slipped in the user s purse, coat pocket, backpack, and more. It is a nice feature if you are concerned about the privacy or security implications of the Tile-like tracking devices.
