lack of security on samsung phones

[Noureddine10]

hello everyone

why can everyone make your phone silent without security code or fingerprint or any kind of security methods?

in my pov samsung should make putting phone on the silent mode as more secured as when someone try to make it on the airplan mode or turning the internet off

thank you !

[Noureddine10]

at least they should give you a choice whether mute it without pin or with

[realaud]

No. It is a feature for the users convenience, a pin would defeat that purpose.

@Noureddine10 One thing to consider... if you use Find my phone to ring your phone, it rings whether it is on mute or not. So changing the volume to mute by a nefarious person won't prevent it from ringing.

so i should log in in another samsung device to just find my phone? do you find this helpful? of course it is not

[LongHiker]

@Noureddine10 You visit https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/login and access your device. 

[Noureddine10]

Not a practical method , you should have another phone or laptop ,, so what if not? 

[realaud]

Maybe you would be better off without portable devices, since they seem to confound you.

[LongHiker]

So, let's say that they don't change the volume. You would need another phone to call it. Same issue.

[realaud]

You can use find you phone from any device where you can access your Google or Samsung account. It does not have to be a Samsung device. It doesn't even have to be a phone, can be a computer. How are you going to find your phone if you don't have the phone you are trying to find?
