Samsung accidentally sent a random message to Galaxy owners: Did you get the notification? - USA TODAY

Did you receive a cryptic message last night that simply says "1"?

If so, it's probably because Samsung accidentally sent the random notice to a "limited" number of smartphone owners worldwide, the company confirmed early Thursday.

The weird push notification, which was reported by people on Twitter, was for Samsung’s native “Find My Mobile” app. The notification seemingly would disappear after users tried to open it.  

"Girlfriend and I just had exactly the same Samsung push notification," tweeted Michael Fisher, a product reviewer, just after midnight. " Her Note 10+ and my Galaxy Z Flip each alerted with a Find My Mobile notification. When tapped, it disappeared."

Samsung’s U.K. help team explained what happened after someone told the company that it was seemingly impacting "every Samsung phone in the world."

"Recently, a notification about 'Find My Mobile 1' occurred on a limited number of Galaxy devices," Samsung's UK arm tweeted. "This was sent unintentionally during an internal test and there is no effect on your device."

It's not the first time smartphone owners have reported receiving weird alerts due to telecom errors. 

In November, thousands of people in the U.S. received text messages that were initially sent on Valentine's Day. The problem affected both iPhone and Android users, and it was widespread across multiple carriers. A third party IT-company claimed responsibility for the glitch.
