How to set up a function to find Android phone
My new Galaxy A54 has arrived and I've managed to get it working and put all my passwords etc in to my apps and sites. How can I set it up so that I can locate it if I lose it? Which site should I use? I would need to use my laptop or Chromebook to locate it if I lose it, if that makes a difference.

How can I keep eBay/FB/X etc off my (new) phone?
I've just ordered the Moto G32 which I'm hoping comes with much less bloatware than the Samsung it will be replacing.

I want to cut down on the cleaning chore so was wondering if there…

Android tablet software update

There's no option to update the…

Amazon Photos app question
I don't subscribe to Amazon Prime and I use Google Photos as my photos app but I'd quite like to put some photos on my Echo Show. So I downloaded the Amazon Photos app and tapped on manual upload but it only seems to let me upload photos that go back to 11th November. I just wondered if anyone knows why this is? Thank you

Curious problem since Chrome update
I included this in another thread (on a different subject) and 'Newcad' replied, saying it might just get fixed after a while and try running Malwarebytes in the meantime. Well I've done that and the problem is still there. No problems found by Malwarebytes. When I close down my win 10 laptop and then start it up again and…

Android (Samsung) battery
With iPhone there's a feature in the settings that will tell you your battery health/life in percentage. I'm not talking about charge until it runs out that day.
