This free app lets any Android user enjoy Samsung SmartTag features

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.

Google Messages bringing ‘Delete for Everyone’ option to RCS chats

Google is working on a new feature for its Messages app that will allow users to delete RCS chats not just from their own device, but also from the recipient’s device. This feature follows the new RCS Universal Profile v2.7, which was announced in June 2024.
The new delete feature has been spotted on the Google Messages app version 20250131_02_RC00 by AssembleDebug (via Android Authority). It is similar to how WhatsApp allows chat deletion.
Right now, when you delete an RCS message, it only disappears from your phone, but the person you sent it to can still see it. Soon, you’ll be able to delete messages for everyone There will be two options for deleting messages – Delete for everyone and Delete for me.
The “Delete for everyone” option will remove the message from both your phone and the recipient’s phone. If you choose “Delete for me,” it will only delete the message from your own device, and the recipient will still be able to see it.
However, there’s a catch. If you delete or try to delete a message, the person you sent it to will get a notification about it. This means they’ll know that you’ve deleted a message or tried to do so. This could be an issue for some people who prefer to delete messages quietly without others finding out.
These new delete capabilities will make Google Messages more similar to other messaging apps that already allow message deletion, like WhatsApp and Telegram.
It will be a helpful feature for those who want to remove mistakes or old messages. The new feature will be available soon for users with the latest version of the app. Once available, it could soon be expanded to Samsung devices.
