Find My Mobile, Can't Configure

Mine just says "look on your wrist nummy". Lol. I will check mine tonight. VZW
 
I was able to select my Note 9, in hopes of changing the message on the main window, but no such luck.
I logged into Samsung account on laptop, hoping that maybe it needs to be done from a different device than the phone itself.
No joy. Same watch doesn't play message.
Exact message I got.
 
Yeah but OP wants the watch to configure with find my phone also ?
Or I misunderstood
You did misunderstand. I don't have a watch. I have a Note 9. I want to be able to locate it if lost. I can't see anywhere on the site to reconfigure so that it's correctly recognized.
 
Zoom zooommm! 👍I put in 29 yrs at GM. Bought my 2001 Cobra new while I still worked at GM for 4 more years! What's that say?

You like working for Chevy and driving Fords.

We have a "Ford guy" at work that had more running Chevys than Fords. 😏 We say A LOT about him. 😊

What don't you like about Google's version?

Yeah I figured lol
So the map on find my phone is not displaying your location ?
 
Yes Mustang that is the problem. The app appears to recognize it as a watch on the map and says that the feature isn't available for my wearable. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I haven't run into this issue, only have my phone that it sees, maybe pizza_pablo can experiment with his since he has the same issue.

I poked around on phone and computer, but couldn't find a solution.
@cscott44 what's your position to using the Google version of FIND MY DEVICE?
I would use it but I would have to let Google track me all the time. I assume that the Samsung app only does it upon request. I think I read that there was some other things, software wise, that the Samsung app can do that the Google app can't. I May have to use it though.

Thanks! I'm always eager to learn things like this.
