Hi everyone, just a quick concern I have. this is sort of confusing so pls try to understand. I was speaking with someone I met on a site, and during texting back and forth she told me that there is some type of pop up that keeps popping up in the text message window on her s7 with my full legal name at the bottom. I did not send her my first name nor last name, and she sent me a screenshot of it and voila, there my full legal name is letter for letter...wtf?, I gave her my nickname only, and my caller ID is my phone number and does not contain my name. i dont have any social media either.. so how did the s7 pull this?
i dont even use a samsung. i use a blackberry so its even weirder.
I am now sort of concerned at how a samsung s7 was able to grab or pick up my full legal name? and how can i prevent this from happening again...?
i read online that s7 pulls info from whitepages, so not sure if this has something to do with it. even when i check white pages it just lists "<carrier name> subscriber"for my number.
Thanks.
