Samsung has started rolling out a new icon for its Find app, which was first introduced with One UI 7, to Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1.1. This indicates that Samsung is getting older devices ready for the next big software update.

The updated icon matches the design changes seen in One UI 7, but it’s now making its way to devices with One UI 6.1.1. While the icon was initially spotted in Android 15-based One UI 7, Samsung is now offering it to older versions of the software.

A Reddit user spotted the new icon on their Find app and also noticed it in the app’s listing in the Galaxy Store. However, the icon hadn’t shown up on their device yet, which suggests that Samsung is giving users a sneak peek of One UI 7 on One UI 6.1.1 running Galaxy devices.

This rollout is happening gradually through a server-side update, meaning users will see the new icon at different times. For example, testing on a Galaxy S23 with One UI 6.1.1 still shows the old icon, but an update to the app is available. Once the server-side update is complete, the new icon should appear.

While the icon change may seem small, it’s a sign that Samsung is preparing for the wider One UI 7 rollout on older devices. Talking about that new icon, the color scheme stays the same with white, dark, and light blue shades but it has a sharper tip location symbol. The tip is more defined, there’s a circle instead of a spread-out triangle in One UI 7.

Aside from this, recent leaks suggest that the stable One UI 7 update for the Galaxy S24 might arrive in March 2025. At the moment, the company reportedly getting ready to release the One UI 7 Beta 4 update.

Samsung SmartTags are popular trackers for Samsung device users, but until now, their functionality is limited to Galaxy devices. For that, uTag comes in to bring support. This app lets you use Samsung SmartTag features with any Android device, even if it’s not a Galaxy phone.

The uTag (spotted by MishalRahman) is an app similar to Samsung’s SmartThings Find feature, which helps you locate and track your SmartTags. With uTag, you can see where your tag is, make it ring, change its ringtone, and more.

Moreover, the app even supports precision finding, a feature that shows you exactly where your tag is if your phone has ultra-wideband (UWB) support, which Google’s Find My Device network still doesn’t offer.

The app also gives you alerts when a SmartTag is traveling with you, notifies you if a tag is left behind or found, and lets you share tags with family. In addition, you can check the location history of your tags. It’s a great way to keep track of your items.

To make uTag work, you need to install a special version of the SmartThings app. This is because the official SmartThings app only works on Samsung phones, but the patched version allows uTag to connect. You will need to sign into your Samsung account twice, once in SmartThings and again in uTag.

If you’re worried about security, the developer made the app open-source, so you can check the code yourself. The uTag app works really well on non-Samsung phones too.

You can download uTag for free from GitHub if your phone is running Android 11 or later. It’s a perfect solution for anyone who wants to use Samsung’s tracker SmartTags without a Galaxy phone.
