Samsung currently has an unremovable spyware app on North American phones that pastes (records) everything copied to the clipboard by any app. It is the Samsung Keyboard app. It cannot be removed. It doesn't matter if you're using any other keyboard app. Samsung Keyboard pastes (records) everything that gets copied to the clipboard by any app. The Samsung Keyboard app cannot even be disabled from Android. As an aside, I recall getting a lot more ads when I used Samsung Keyboard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sometimes I will see a small random "copied" floating notification (not in the notification tray) and I always wondered where it came from. Maybe they have put in some code to suppress it but due to some bug, it leaks out. No proof but I can only hypothize. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks for mentioning this! I saw it but never put much thoughts into it. Now it seems a huge security risk/active security exploit. Strangely enough, I cannot reproduce this now. I'll see when it happens again, and if I can uninstall keyboard via adb. It's just a pre-installed app, after all. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Every day it feels like regulators need to increase enforcement by an order of magnitude. For every fine they dish out, 10 more abuses go unnoticed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

https://www.reddit.com/r/samsunggalaxy/comments/mtakqq/how_t... Yeah, all Samsung software is a liability. Don't even get me started on the Samsung smart TVs. Just horrible all-around. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
