    Question How To Use Find My to locate earphones

    Ah. Before I return to crawling on my hands and knees using my phone as a torch - do you know if there's any other way I may me able to find them using my phone?

    Question How To Use Find My to locate earphones

    No, I don't think I can do that through the earbuds directly, but shouldn't they be appearing as one of my devices on the Google FMD app?

    Question How To Use Find My to locate earphones

    They're just standard bluetooth earbuds (soundPEATS). There's no tracking for them like with Airpods or Pixel buds, but I was hoping that, as it's a connected device, it would appear on the Find My Device on Google (or indeed Apple)

    Question How To Use Find My to locate earphones

    Hi, I've spent quite some time trying to find information on if I can use Google's Find My Device app to help locate my missing bluetooth earbuds. Unfortunately, the only device that appears, both on the app and web version, is my Galaxy S10. Is there a way I can find these earbuds using my...

    Deleting unwanted SMS messages

    Like I've said, I do have the 3 dots and the option to block on some SMS messages, just not the ones from these spam companies. If I hit delete it just deletes the message when actually, what I want to do, is block the company contacting me again. These spam companies don't have telephone...

    Deleting unwanted SMS messages

    I'm not sure what Stock Messenger is. I'm just using the Messages app that comes with the S10 (blue icon with a white speech bubble and blue dots on it). On some messages I have the 3 dots in the top right and, with these spam ones, I just have a delete icon.

    I'm aware that, a year ago, me being outside in the dark, wearing a mask, would have given an entirely different slant to this post!

    Thanks for the responses everyone. Completely agree that there was no need to change from the S9 fingerprint sensor - which worked quickly and accurately. Getting into the habit of double tapping first has helped and then wait and see which bio security thing kicks in first. The problem with...

    Quickest, and most secure, way to access the homepage

    Hiya, Yeh, generally speaking, when it does unlock it opens straight to the homescreen. My issues is getting it to unlock quickly whilst retaining the security measures. A number of times my face isn't recognised and/or my fingerprint won't scan, which then prompts me to type in my PIN...

    Oops, thank you - I googled S10 forums and thought I was in the right place. Thanks for rectifying!

    Quickest, and most secure, way to access the homepage

    Hi, I started using my new S10 a few days ago, having come from a S9 (and several generations of the S series before it) What I really loved about the S9 was that I could use my fingerprint to open the phone from the lockscreen. It was very easy to locate and very quick. I'm struggling to...
