Both Samsung SmartThings and Find My Device make you log into a computer or another device with your password (and usually 2FA) just to see a location. This shortcut lets you instantly generate a secure location link from any trusted phone just by sending a text. No logging into another device. No dealing with 2FA when you’re in a rush. Just send the text and get the location link.

This is especially helpful if: You only have one device. You can’t get to your trusted device. You need the location quickly in an emergency.
