    Why do I keep losing storage space despite deleting?

    It's not a theory, it's exactly how phone apps work. Temp files will always start to pile up (just look at each app's cache; browsers can run upwards of 1GB!). Check for apps that constantly download updated data like social media feeds, news, etc.

    [SOLVED] Transferring Data from A50 to A16 Galaxy

    Not sure what the question is here, but if it's about setting the password, then yes, a PIN will not do in this case. You'll need an alphanumeric password set on the A50 Secure Folder first before it can be transferred to the A16 (once transferred, to decrypt the backup/transfer onto the new...

    Glad you could get this sorted out!

    [SOLVED] New A16 Galaxy asks for Password

    Like we mentioned before, if the phone is asking for an account login for a factory reset, it means it has been associated with either a Google or Samsung account and FRP is active. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with a device transfer as all of this is setup BEFORE you can get to that...

    [SOLVED] New A16 Galaxy asks for Password

    Factory reset seems to be your only option at this stage if you can't log into the phone and don't have the credentials to do so. If you're talking about the password at boot (not to log into the phone, but to boot the OS or to factory reset), then that phone has been set up with Factory Reset...

    Question Messenger

    Hard to say with just a generic error screenshot. Check that you have enough free storage on your device, that your phone is up to date (older OS versions may not be supported and the Store won't let you install the app if the dev defined version restrictions), that you don't have a modified OS...

    [SOLVED] New A16 Galaxy asks for Password

    Security settings do not transfer, and if there was a password/PIN set up on the new phone, it was done so BEFORE the transfer. Unfortunately there's no way of bypassing this if you don't remember the login info and only a factory reset (which would wipe out all personal and transferred data)...

    Question Why can't I delete this info from phone number?

    Yup, then it's coming from the carrier (as part of the caller ID), not your contacts.

    Can One UI updates be blocked? And if so can this stop Samsung messages from being disabled?

    It won't disable the app, but the app alone isn't what makes texting work on your phone. The SERVER side stuff that makes it 'tick' is no longer going to support Samsung Messages (and per GolfDriver's reference to Samsung's own support page, only sending Emergency services will be available...

    Restore Secure Folder Data

    Yup, Secure Folder backups to your account have been gone for a while. The only way to restore them now is directly from the older phone or a 'hard copy' of the backup.

    Question Why can't I delete this info from phone number?

    This may be different depending on your carrier, but try going into your Phone app and open its settings. There, you should see an option for "Caller ID and spam protection" or something similar. Disable/enable and your phone will only use your Contacts info.

    Samsung Health Monitor app update

    My BP started going up a couple years ago, no idea why (sips on his 5th coffee cup of the day while planning for his 45th bday this year). No idea. :P

    Samsung Health Monitor app update

    Same here, phone app updated this morning. Just calibrated it and tested a couple times to compare with cuff. Pretty good match (last time I tried it was with the beta study with the Watch 4!). Now give me glucose measurements on the 9 and I'm in! :P (Just don't take 4 years to enable it in...
