why has find my phone turned on by itself

[Android Central Question]

My phone runs off the telstra network, my wifes runs off vodafones network. Today we both recieved msgs from find my phone that said '1'
We opened the notice and nothing appeared.
In settings wd voth found find my pho e had been switched on, and currently is not alliwing us to switch off without ligging into outlook. Anyone know what the hell is goung on here,

The '1' was a worldwide push from Samsung which they haven't explained yet. Your other issue is probably not related.
Clear the cache partition and reboot.
Good luck

Are you talking about Google's Find My Device feature? That's on by default -- did you turn it off at some point?
