Before we can answer your specific question, we need to know which of the two apps you are using: “smart things classic” or “smartthings (Samsung connect)”. They have different functionality.
…

How do I answer that? ? I’m on a Samsung S7 (Android) phone and the App is called simply ‘SmartThings’. Blue circle on white background. I don’t see any ‘about’ type info. My app has 4 main choices / screens at the bottom - Dashboard, My home, automation, and marketplace … if that helps.

That means you have the classic app, which is good, as it has more functionality right now for everything except Samsung televisions and appliances.

SPECIFIC differences between "SmartThings Classic" (the V2 app) and “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)” (the V3 app)

this thread is intended only as a listing of specific differences between the two apps, not for complaints, suggestions, discussions of design philosophy, bug reports, questions about migration, joke memes or anything else. Just individual feature differences. We originally used the abbreviation STSC for “SmartThings (Samsung Connect)”, but that never caught on, so now we are calling it the V3 app since it came out with the V3 hub. The V3 app is changing rapidly, so feel free to edit this as needed. The official knowledgebase FAQ is at the following link.
