Galaxy Buds 3 location inaccuracy happens because they rely on Bluetooth signals and the Samsung Find network rather than GPS. When in your pocket, they often report the location of a nearby strangerโ€™s phone that picked up the bud's signal (and that's where that person is now), rather than your precise, real-time position.

If you haven't lost them and they're in your pocket, I wouldn't be concerned.

hmm, isn't that the same way airtags work?

Anyone else find the "Find" app for devices misleading and wildly inaccurate? It sent me on a wild goose chase for two days to locate my Buds 4 P4o at a nearby gas station, only to discover the device was in my bag at home.

That seems like a major flaw, as I have seen others note. It would be better to eliminate buds from the finder at all. Which is ironic because the buds are the item one is most likely to be looking for, and I'd imagine people would actually like to locate them where they actually are, not where they were yesterday.
