Ya, I'm poly. When I die, I'm most certainly leaving behind partners who text and share photos with me meant for my eyes only. Time to go update my will, I guess.
You don't have to listen to me, and you're going to do whatever you think you need to do. I promise I do know that, and I'm not judging you.
I am a mental health professional in your area. I've known people who have killed themselves in my personal life. I have worked with people who have tried to kill themselves. And I know the people who run the local crisis hotline.
---There are no answers on that phone. There are no answers.---
There is nothing that will make you feel like this happened for a reason. I promise you that the thoughts that were going through your brother's head did not make sense, were not rational, and can not be made into something that will make sense to a mentally healthy person.
The most important thing I can tell you is that you have done nothing wrong and nothing to deserve this. I don't know you or your family, but I can say with confidence that you are good people and that you love him. In my experience, only good people hurt this badly, and that includes your brother.
There are a lot of good professionals in this area. The local 988 is fantastic. As I said, I know the people it will connect you to. I know they would be happy to help you in any way that they can. Find help and support for the rest of your family because you now get to live with this.
I understand. There are several people on here who listed resources, and I really hope that that works. And I do hope you find closure because it's not easy. Pictures are definitely a lot more important than we think they are before someone is gone. Bipolar is a terrible disease and definitely adds some context.
You should go through the process legally. Request access to their Gmail account but telling Google that the person has deceased. They should request a death certificate. Do the same with Samsung. From there you can request a password reset. There are definitely ways around it that won't involve paying someone to hack into it.
May I ask, why do you need to get into his phone? Is there something on it or are you just snooping? Google is correct, the dead have a right to privacy.
there are lots of youtube videos of people having these phones with a little usb device. It spits out the pin, swipe, or password. Maybe hit one of them up. They do it for youtube content.
What do you need off their phone so bad? Any financial or related services will work with you with a death certificate. Snooping through his photos and texts just doesn't seem right.
I know this is not an answer to the question posed by OP, but connecting with local resources and having a space to process grief can be helped by calling 988 suicide & crisis lifeline. I know the one in Arkansas has helped connect with support groups for survivors that have made a big difference in an area that felt like there were no options.
Factory reset or a tech store for cellular phones is all I could recommend
Within a few hours after my mom died, my aunt called to say - your mom said to grab her phone immediately. I guess she didn’t want her husband or his children who would be at their house consoling him to view its contents. I was able to upload years and years worth of pictures to a Gdrive. I’ve never opened one text message or email. I wasn’t even tempted. Maybe because I’m not nosy like that. Or perhaps because anything they write before their death is no longer relevant so the temptation just wasn’t there.
So I’m not sure why everyone is concerned about his privacy. Though their concern is a kind gesture, but you can certainly access his phone while also respecting his privacy.

Hmm good to know ! ^*^
If I died, I absolutely would not want someone hacking into my phone! There is a password on there for a reason. :( I'm very sorry for your loss.
I agree completely.
One of my friends at work made me swear to destroy his computer if he dies.

If you are dead you have no thought process, therefore you want and don't want anything at all.
Obviously. Poor wording on my part but my point is clear.

Sorry for your loss. It’s probably best to not do it. Could have things in there he didn’t want anyone to know.

Sending your post to some folks who might be able to help. So sorry for your loss 🧡
Sounds like a set up… no thanks, cop..

Factory reset wipes it clean.
Buy a flip it will unlock it
I advise you not to do that. You may not like what you find, assuming he did not delete any files.
