If you’ve recently received a mysterious notification on your Samsung Galaxy Phone (any model), you’re not alone.
In fact, users of Galaxy phones around the world received a notification via Find My Mobile which wrote ‘1’ and another 1 below it. Yes, only 1, and clicking on this notification does nothing but make the notification disappear.
Samsung’s mobile-enabled service lets users search or lock their devices if they forget. Backup data from this service can be stored, synchronized, local data deletion and other functions in Samsung Cloud and this is why this strange notification freak out users. A number of tweets came out in this regard which prompted questions about this notification.
