    SmartThings Find, which was announced three months ago, lets you find your compatible device with ease. The feature was rolled out to the Galaxy Watch Active 2 last month, and it is now being rolled out to the Galaxy Watch 3 as a part of a feature-packed update.

    Samsung has started rolling out a new software update to the Galaxy Watch 3 in India, South Korea, and the US. The 74.02MB update comes with firmware version R840XXU1BUA8, and it brings Samsung Health improvements, SmartThings Find, Hand Wash, and improved stability. After installing the new update on your Galaxy Watch 3, you can enjoy group-walking challenges with your friends and enjoy home workouts.

    The smartwatch can also automatically recognize workouts (elliptical, rowing machine, and running) quicker than earlier. The SmartThings Find feature allows you to find the location of the Galaxy Watch 3 on the map. The Hand Wash app reminds you to wash your hands regularly and automatically detects when you are washing your hands to suggest an appropriate washing duration.
