Just a warning to go into phone settings and deny messaging access to storage so it can't access your photos.
Currently Samsung Galaxy from S7 to current and Samsung Edge phones are affected and no fix is available as yet

I posted in The Lounge because it will probably be read by more people

 

If there was no logical reason for a app to be requesting access to something then don't allow it. I share pictures off my phone with friends using Massaging and I don't think that will work if I deny access.

 

Hmmm.....I like your methods.........massaging would be quite relaxing and with pictures too

 

Add me to your friends list...

 

Reasons why I don't personal stuff on my phone.

There is an app that allows you look into each app's settings be hind the scene.

Google hates this app.It's called lucky patcher.you will not find it on Google play store.

 

This is the very reason why I stopped buying Samsung phones after owning a Core 2 a few years back. Right now, I have an iPhone 6plus - disappointed with the camera. It's blurry now. I also have a Huawei Nova 2 Lite. It's amazing. If I have the cash, will buy P20. Heard great things about it.

 

I paid 75 dollars for an LG phone at walmart and it runs great.It's the LGL158VL it comes with android 7.0 and 16 gigs of space.With extra storage added another 16 gigs of space so i have 32 gigs of space.It has the option to Tether other devices to it.There are a lot of phones that cannot do this option.

 

Okay, so, to commend Samsung... the two old Samsung units I bought like 5-6 years ago, it's still alive. Sometimes my nieces borrow it.

 

Reminds me of the old Nokia phones.....I went through several Motorola flip phones and Siemens phones that were deemed unfixable and because they were dropped were not covered by warranty. When I got a Nokia 3310 it seemed like it was almost indestructible as it was dropped numerous times without any apparent damage. The battery life of two or three days was good too.....when it was out of contract it was replaced with, IIRC, a Nokia 6100 which was also good but not as good battery life.
After the Nokias my employer switched to Blackberry phones and the early ones without the slide screen were better than the later ones as the slide screen used to have problems with the cable inside.
