So I'm trying to set up a few smarttags that I've purchased from Samsung. While in the smartthings find app, I am trying to enable the option to notify me when it is left behind and I am greeted with the message that I can't receive notifications for more than 2 tags on this phone...

Makes no sense to me. The purpose of buying the tags is exactly to track your precious belongings and if you can't be notified when it is left behind, what's the point?

Why is there this limitation? Is it the tags? Or is it my phone (z Fold 4)? I don't get it.

Anyone else have multiple tags and have this issue.

Thanks

I think Apple has a limit of 15 tags but samsung tag was 150-200 from memory. Obviously the more you have the slower it processes them but all info is online to confirm this.
Hope this helps, sorry I don't have better results

Well I mean it's not the end of the world since I can still connect them so that's cool.

Would've just liked to be able to receive the notifications from multiple tags if I ever forget my belongings somewhere and get it right away instead of having to manually open the smartthings app to find them after the fact...

Thanks for the info tho!

It's Samsung.. there is a limit. That's why I did not buy them.

It's not a deal breaker since you can still connect multiple tags.

What doesn't make sense is you can connect them but only have 2 tags notify you if you left it behind.

Which means you have to choose 2 most important belongings which you can be reminded of right away if you forget and come back to take it before going too far.

While the rest, if you ever forget them, you'll just have to open the smartthings find app and hope you'll be able to find them again after losing them 😑 which is pretty much counter productive...

Guess I've learnt something too today... so you can connect a lot but only get notifications for 2.... maybe the R&D department can work on this.. hint hint

Hi Deeezzyyy, we request you to try removing and re-adding the tags and check If it works.
We would like to inform you that You can register up to 200 SmartTags to SmartThings application with one Samsung mobile phone but, there may be limitations on the simultaneous connection performance as SmartTag is a wireless communication-based device.
Accordingly, If multiple tags are used at the same time, It may take some waiting time depending on the surrounding wireless network environments.

Any new status on the 2 tag limit? I would like to track keys, wallet, and earbuds, now that i lost them again. Adding the third tag generates the error as shown above.
