If someone stole the phone and turned off the Location service, owner will not be able to track the phone via Find My Device.

Is there anyway to have the location service persistently enabled. Disable it only with biometric or PIN.

Hi... It should be Samsung Find My Mobile u r talking about in this situation because if its Google Find My Device then u need to log in with password every single time

I can only think of the situation u mentioned above unless...

1. Someone robbed your phone off u when u r using it

2. U set the phone auto screen off time too long, leave it unattended and have it stolen

3. U totally never set any PIN or fingerprint unlock for your phone

If its above 3 situation it might therefore gives the person enough time to access your Find My Mobile n turn it off...

If not normally our phone will be locked with our PIN or fingerprint unlock when we r not using it. So even you lose it u got nothing to worry about...

Hope this helps...

Pls kindly click the 3 dots on the right hand side of my comment and press "Accept Solution" if you feel that my solution is useful to you

Thanks and Cheers...!!!Screenshot_20220907-121300_Find My Device.jpgScreenshot_20220907-121200_Find My Mobile.jpg

Thank you for the great advice.
In fact I was referring to the Location switch which can be disabled easily in the Setting.

I am also an iPhone user. In iPhone setting, if I want to disable the Location,I need to enter my pass code before it can be disabled. This adds a additional security. I just wish I could do the same with my z fold.Screenshot_20220908_165716_Settings.jpg
