SmartTag+ No 'Find by Camera' or distance tracking (UWB)

I have two SmartTag+ devices that are successfully paired and showing in SmartThings app

My phone is an S22 Ultra (Exynos) which should support UWB, yet when I try to track either SmartTag+ with it I get no option for the Augmented Reality Find by Camera, or any distance readouts.

Essentially the SmartTag+ are not utilising the UWB technology and are just acting like the non plus SmartTag models

Is this a software bug?  Is my S22 Ultra not being recognized as a compatible device?

FYI there was a previous post by someone else with a similar issue, which was marked as Solved by linking to the main info page for the AR finding... It didn't seem to actually solve anything, and in my opinion should never have been closed as 'solved'

You can see how it's supposed to work and look here: https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/apps-services/how-to-use-find-using-camera-to-find-my-galaxy-...

I note that the S22 Ultra is not actually in the list of devices on there, but I assume that's a case of the article not being updated as there are other references to it working with the S22 Ultra - including this video by Samsung https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AqUyLgLKz6k

Thanks :smiling-face:

Same here, S24+ and SmartTag2, distance tracking works, and the camera icon comes up in the top right corner as it would when the camera is in use, but never gives me the option to use the camera.

Is there is a list where it's not allowed? (And the reason why?)

To give this issue more impact let me note that my S24 Ultra also doesn't offer the camera AR search function. I have all updates, fresh batteries in the SmartTag2, UWB activated and I'm quite near the Tag (it only shows the distance and in very rare occasions an arrow with the direction). Is there any staff having an idea how to fix this?
