Auto-fill Email Addresses

[HnLA]

Suddenly 2 weeks ago my S10 does not prompt my email addresses. Even if I start typing one in, it does not recognize it. I assume there is some new security thing to prevent phones from recalling email addresses. Is there a way on the S10 to reverse this an allow auto fill .
I checked in General Management\Language and Keyboard and other places but do not see how to change this.
Is this an Android/Google thing or a Samsung thing?

I guess I am the only one still using an S10, not too many posts on here any more. Should I use a different forum?
Still wondering why the tilt feature stopped working for most, but not all, apps a few months ago.
Thank you

Did you check if the app you're using still has permission to access your Contacts?

 

[HnLA]

Samsung Internet is not listed under Apps. But when I look at permissions, contacts is not listed, I do not think I changed anything. But I did read somewhere about being careful with allowing auto fill of your email addresses. So I think something was just changed without me knowing it.

Using SI 27.0.0.79

Also it is not auto filling in Duck duck go either, so it must be a phone thing, not an app thing. Opera too.

Are you using Samsung Keyboard? If so, check its settings in Settings>General Management>Keyboard List and Default, and see if Predictive Text is on.

 

[HnLA]

Yes, I checked that areas

The default keyboard is Gboard
I check its settings, did not see anything about this. I think it is a new setting, perhaps changed without an update. Contacts and microphone are allowed

Is your sync to your Samsung account turned on?

 

[HnLA]

Possibly not, they always want to get all up in my business. How do I check? Thanks

 

[B. Diddy]

Settings>Connections, then select your network (whether it's wi-fi or mobile data), and then the 3-dot menu at the upper right. Then Advanced Settings>Sync with Samsung Cloud.

The location might be a little different since I'm looking at my Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ running One UI 6.1.1, while your S10 is presumably running a much older version, so you can also search the system settings for "sync."

 

[HnLA]

I do not think I want to do that. It was not on before. This change just happened, not sure why.
As mentioned, I read somewhere that they were warning about allowing emails to auto fill. I actually want that, but cannot figure out how to make it happen.
One UI is4.1 Android is 12
I have been thinking of going over to the other side!

Is this an Android/Google thing or a Samsung thing? This is happning in all apps, Samsung Internet, Opera and DuckDuckGo
Using UI 4.1 Version 12
GBoard is default keyboard and all permissions seem good. I do not think I changed anything. It just suddenly stopped showing up when I tried to type in my email address
I had read somewhere about how to protect yourself by NOT allowing email addresses to auto fill, but it seems it did this without my knowing about it, and I want to change it back.
Thank you

I don't think its a Google/Samsung thing. That feature still works on my s24U, using either Samsung email or Outlook email.

Just as a starting point, did you try force stopping your email app, clearing the cache, just the cache the first time, & restarting the phone? Maybe something is 'stuck'.

Just for the record, which email app are you using?

I'm sure others will chime in with different ideas since this is happening across multiple apps on your s10.

This is not about OTHER peoples addresses, it is about MY email address. Like when I have to sign into a site, I would type the first two letters of my email and it would pop up, sometimes, just having the email box, I would see a few of my emails pop up.
Thanks

try Google>settings>autofill>autofill and make sure its works fine

 

[HnLA]

Auto fill is working the same as always ONLY MY EMAIL addresses are no longer appearing. I have to type them out fully each time.
This started 2 weeks ago. I think it is some security measure and I am wondering how to manage this setting. Thank you.

I merged your duplicate threads so that we don't have parallel discussions.

Ahhh! I misunderstood.

 

[HnLA]

OK, you seem to be the only person who looks at the S10 forum

You tried Samsung keyboard? Since you mentioned you have Gboard as default.
