I just received my S26 about a week ago. So far love it except for one annoying thing. I keep getting notifications for Audio News. I have researched it and tried a ton of things recommended. Still getting the notification. There is not an app on my phone called Audio News. Please help before I lose my mind!!

      Hello DogMomThree, welcome to the Samsung Community. We understand how frustrating this must be for you and would be happy to assist. Have you tried your device in Safe Mode (Power on your Galaxy phone or tablet in Safe mode) to see if a third party app is sending the News notifications? 

       

      Access your recent Notifications: Open Settings, Tap Notifications, Tap App Notifications, then tap the drop-down menu at the top to select from Most Recent, Most Frequent, Notifications turned off or All. 

      If you would like to stop receiving notifications from a specific app tap the switch next to that app to turn off all notifications. 

       

      Please let us know if you receive the notification in Safe Mode and if the notification is not showing in recent Notifications. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

      Here is the notification. It also appeared on the bottom of the lock screen but I did not catch it in time to screen shot. 1793286700720.jpg

      Thank you for providing those details, DogMomThree. You can update that setting by following these steps: 

       

      Open Settings,

      Go to Notifications,

      Tap App Notifications,

      Use the search bar and type News,

      If it appears toggle the switch next to it off to stop all notifications.

       

      If no app is found: Open Settings, tap Apps, tap Show System Apps and look for apps that might be delivering the alert. Tap the app notifications toggle off to stop the notifications.

      This is another irritating thing about this phone. Never had this issue before. I just want to open a photo album someone sent me and the phone is not allowing it because it says I have to accept the terms of your product that I don't want. I just want to open the file. It does not give a decline option. I was excited about my first new phone in 6 years but it is sucking the life out me with all this unnecessary irritation. 1793298172807.jpg

      I was wondering why my phone was using so much data & getting hot when being charged with my lightning BELKIN charger...
      my battery was fully charged & within 5-10 min it was down to 83% ... I swiped right by accident & found a page of advertisements with GOOGLE'S name at the top of the page... first 3 headings were Pruvacy
      we respect your privacy
      what type of ads do you want to see...Sports was marked, ( ×) weather, shopping, etc... these were running on my phone for at least a month. I never had ads on my phone ever!
      I am not c a happy camper!
      I had to actually disable GOOGLE SERVICES 3RD PARTY PARTNERS! I NEVER OPTED IN ON THIS APP & can't believe the invasion of my privacy! they also had my phone set on data roaming! This is unforgivable & extremely negligent & reckless! privacy my **bleep**... GOOGLE should be sued!
