    Question Can't remember which Google account is connected to Android phone

    It shows nothing but my computer for each of the three gmail acct's. It appears to be limited to what devices are presently logged in and others that were logged into in the past 28 days. And it only shows my computer, which I presently was using to log into the gmail acct.

    Question Samsung Gallery app "Stories" - how to turn off?

    That will stop the app from telling me what it's doing, but it will still be accessing my pics and making "stories". What I want regarding this app is no more access to my pics and no more stories. Until that happens, I actually want notifications, because I want to know what it is doing.

    The problem with Google Messages app continues, so I am still using Samsung's Messages app. I think that this problem might have happened during the Smart Switch transfer of Google's Messages app from my old phone to my new phone.
