How to Enable Warn If S Pen is Left Behind on Galaxy S24/S23 Ultra

Samsung said goodbye to its beloved Galaxy Note series but didn’t leave its standout feature behind. Instead, they integrated it into their top-tier Galaxy S lineup. The Galaxy S22 Ultra took on the mantle of the Galaxy Note series, boasting an integrated S Pen that unlocked a host of productivity tools. Now, the freshly unveiled Galaxy S24 Ultra continues this legacy, featuring an embedded S Pen that supports useful functions such as Screen Off Memo, Quick Notes, Air Actions, Screen Write, and many others. This post will show you how to enable warn if S Pen is left behind on Samsung Galaxy S23/S24 Ultra.

Meanwhile, Samsung understands the frustration of misplacing the S Pen, which is why they’ve included a feature that alerts you when you’ve moved too far away from it. You might be thinking, “Well, what good does that do if I’ve already lost the S Pen?” But here’s the thing: that same feature also lets you see the last time and date you detached the S Pen from your phone. Believe me, even that small piece of information can be incredibly helpful in finding the elusive S Pen.

However, you might be thinking you lost the S Pen while you were out shopping or strolling through a mall, but it could actually be hiding right under your couch or bed. Knowing the last time it disconnected can be a lifesaver in these situations. The catch is, you’ll need to recall where you were at that moment to narrow down your search.
