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? 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

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.
