Welcome to Android Forums @pluto20c

To my knowledge, Samsung's are set to update firmware automatically by default. The only way your Galaxy Tab S6 would have the latest firmware is if it was connected to a data source OTA. A brand new phone will still have the very first firmware that was released bay the manufacturer.

ok thanks for the reply

Why not add your boss' phone number to the numbers than CAN call you when the device is in DND?

I use DND all the time, and have no issues.
I simply made it so that my contact list is always allowed.

I'm having the same problem with my galaxy s9. Never had this happen before. I have over 9000 random pics load. Looks
like stories I've viewed online, some I have no clue. But nothing I've ever copied, saved, or downloaded. They are not in my
gallery, but they show up when I plug in to download to my laptop. When I click 'delete from phone after downloading' they still show
up. I've spent so much time clicking on them and going ahead and download to a folder to delete. Doesn't matter. They are
still there. I spent an hour on the phone with Samsung, 40 min. with Tmobile. Anyone out here have an idea? It's creepy.
Seems like I'm being spied on....

Orange contacts = Samsung. Avoid.
Blue contacts - Google. Use.

Well RAM usage and background processes are not necessarily the same thing, but unless you had been monitoring running processes on your old phone and kept the records to compare it's probably impossible to tell. However I can think of no reason why there would be more background processes running on the "smaller" phone of the same model (on the other hand, Samsung have been known to allocate larger system partitions to phones with more storage even though there is absolutely no need for that, so who can be sure?).

If the phone is new the OS may still be learning and optimising for your usage. To be honest I genuinely did wonder what Samsung were playing at when you said they were only using 3-5 GB RAM on a phone with 12 GB, as that's actually very low RAM usage.

Looks good, nice

Just install Google photos app on her phone. Open its settings and it will ask you what folder to automatically back up from. The DCIM folder is normally the default folder that your camera app uses.
I believe you can backup as many folders as want, over wifi and cellular data.
And because it's linked to your Gmail account, you can access all photos from any device, by logging in to the Gmail account, go to photos.google.com on a browser....
Then delete the photos manually on the phone after a day to clear up space

OK, thanks. I just tried asking Google, and she said that under settings, there is an option for icon shapes. I tried it and the phone looks like it's changing all my icons to squares (I hope).

Yes, I am now sure this is the icon for a missed call in WhatsApp. See the screenshot below. The screenshot is a bit older, but the icon is still the same.

This is how usually teens lose trust in their parents. You obviously shouldn't track her at age 15. But for now, I guess it is ok...
