On a serious note, let’s turn our attention towards the latter half of my earlier statement. So here is the thing. Similar to other Android devices, Samsung smartphones also come with a Find my Device app. As far as the functionality of this app is concerned, well the name speaks in itself. It allows you to search for your missing device. Then to further aid the user, they have added the Offline Finding feature.
This makes it possible to find your device even when the lost device is offline. So even if the internet connection on the lost device is turned off, you might still be able to find your deivce using this feature. There is just one prerequisite that you should have ticked-marked beforehand. And that is to enable this Offline Finding. In this regard, Samsung might remind you ‘occasionally’ to enable this feature on your device. However, it’s now time to change the word occasionally from my above statement. This is because the OEM seems to be continuously sending this notification every few hours (or even minutes!) for the past few days. While the reason for this sudden bombardment of notifications is anyone’s guess, fortunately, there exist quite a few workarounds that might help you fix this issue. So without further ado, here is how you could stop Samsung from sending notifications of Offline Finding from Find My Device.
