Need anyone with a SAMSUNG A70

Anyone please please help me with a Samsung a70 or similar
I have reason to think DP is cheating but he has a new A70 phone which means face recognition and fingerprint on phone face. The only advice I've been given is to check phone but how the bleeding hell can I? Is there a way to surpass this?

I really just need to know. Is there an option to try turn this off if I get in?

It will also be backed up with a pin

@dementedpixie

Do you know how many digits the pin is

Think it can be any length but minimum 4

Some facial recognition phones respond to a clear photo of the person...not that I'm advocating snooping!

Thanks

I know his is facial recognition so that's why I'm wondering if I can somehow bypass it to get to the code? If I work out the code I'm

I've had a new A40 today and it suggested not to use facial recognition as it's not very secure because it can be opened with a photo.
Mine doesn't need a pin too, only if the facial recognition fails.

The point of it is so people can't get in your phone and use it and with Apple and pay and stuff they have to be very reliable so I'm going to say no there isn't. If you know his email address and password though you could look at his cloud.

@Gertie75

Thanks and is there a way to access it if you don't wanna do the facial recognition? Do you have to swipe to get to the pin code

I've just had very odd feeling lately. He's been grooming ahem in the genital department out of the blue. He's also going on about losing weight? They might sound like feeble hints but honestly it's this feeling I can't shake off. I always said cheating is s deal breaker for me but feel frustrated because I actually can't prove it?

@shakeitofff have you tried it with a photo? Or his sleeping face?

@babyno5

Good idea I could try use pic in phone hopefully it'll work Confused

OP posts:
Gertie75 · 22/05/2019 23:18

It's either fingerprint, face or if they don't work then pin and yes I swipe upwards to get to the pin access screen.

I had to choose in the settings how to access the phone so no you can't bypass it.

Does your do know you suspect him? You could do a lot of damage by snooping if he's innocent and he finds out.

babyno5 · 22/05/2019 23:26

@shakeitofff I hope it's not what you suspect but I also know when your gut tells you somethings up. Been there!
Sending hugs xx

@Gertie75

Thank you yours is the best response as I believe the a30 is the next one down from the a70
So I need to swipe up and see if the pin unlock comes up? I'm pretty sure I know what pin he'll use as he's rubbish at remembering numbers

Just ask him? Outright, face to face. Then you'll know, no matter what he actually says.

Poppyinafieldofdreams · 23/05/2019 00:28

Cut his head off and put it in front of the camera.

user1473878824 · 23/05/2019 00:30

JenMumma · 23/05/2019 00:33
