What’s new in the SmartThings app June 2025 update?

SmartThings app lets users effortlessly connect and control their smart home devices in one place. The Korean firm aims to enhance its functionality as well as introduce meaningful features through regular updates. While the June 2025 update does not include new features, it brings several improvements to key segments for a seamless user experience.

One of the notable improvements is in the Home Life section. It now allows you to take a short survey of the whole household to personalize their experience. Based on the answers, SmartThings will provide more useful suggestions and insights as per the household’s needs.

Another useful improvement comes to the Map View feature. Samsung has integrated the Map View experience within SmartThings for easier navigation. It now lets you effortlessly navigate between Map View and the Home tab.

Location sharing has also become easier. You can now easily share the location of your Galaxy tags through a link. This allows your family or close friends to view the tag’s location via a link on their SmartThings Find web application.

Furthermore, the Korean firm has made two major improvements to routines, allowing for more flexible and precise routine configurations. The first is the Pre-execution Confirmation Alert option, and the second is the Action Delay Settings Between Routine Actions. The former sends you notifications before a routine begins, while the latter allows you to set execution intervals between multiple actions within a routine.

Last but not least, SmartThings now gains support for the Now Bar and Live notifications. This means you can get updates about what’s happening with smart home gadgets in real-time right from the home screen and lock screen.

If you want to explore these latest enhancements, you should update to the latest version of the SmartThings app as soon as possible. Since Samsung has just started rolling out the update, keep an eye on the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store — it could land on your device at any moment.
