amazing apps

"Switch" what?

Switch Access is a great app. You should try this app. I recommend this app to everyone I know.

Woulr giv3 it zero stars but i can't. Another useless app which you cant get rid of. the switch to a De-Googled phone is fast approaching.

Why would I switch access when I'm the boss? So Be It is my legal dba no one should have access to any of my information. Ask first. Learn basic manners 101 ! Mind your own business! If I don't post it publicly it's none of your business.

let me remove this

I love the app

I would not download or update this on your phone it will cause your phone to have severe glitch and operating problems.

I had no clue what this app does. So I read "about this app". I still have no bloody clue to what it actually is or does or how that might actually be useful to me. I'd give it a 3 star rating if it came with an uninstall option

thank you

First I will mention AI. I don't like this beast taking over our lives. I don't like AI drinking & destroying our water & the environment. Switch depends on AI so that we lose privacy. I take pictures for productions, and w/out my consent, the camera takes pictures of ME! That "glitching" is way too Orwellian for comfort. I hear the shutter go off, but I can't often find the photo that it took, so, where's it going? Switch is like the Christmas fruitcake no one wants. Really, Google... SKGA!

You guessed it. Another tools for hackers. My hacker/stalker/troll loves Google Play apps and Developer tools. He just activates it himself and uses it to rewrite text or emails sent to me, if I even get them. rewrite my call logs, get my IMEI numbers blacklisted and more! All made possible with Google!! I Google actually reads this, then please help me catch them!

An exceptional and thoughtful accessibility tool developed by Google! It provides smooth, precise device control using switches or keyboard inputs, empowering users with motor limitations to navigate their smartphones independently. Reliable, intuitive, and life-changing technology!

👍 Gave 4 stars b/c their prices can be expensive for extras Google low-key tracks your every move online by ur google acct & dont inform you of this straight forward or in terms most people understand & to turn tracking off, you specifically have to go into ur settings & choose to delete browsing history & there ur also able to choose other settings & options to set to whatever you're comfortable with. Go to ur Google account settings & check it out for yourself,

this is a portal it's a proximity spam malware packerware stalkerware. I deleted it but it keeps coming back it's a mirror program part of a virus that you don't even know you have I have bug reports to backup my review.

I never downloaded this application. I am not a developer. What is going on?? Why is there a Play Store, if these apps just download automatically?? I do not have any app launcher. I have disabled all of them. I keep getting apps where they can read my messages, call logs, all my contact information and personal information. I have almost all apps disabled because of this. It feels invasive! I will upload an app if I want to. I am not getting any choice here so apparently I AM NOT IN CONTROL

there's a problem with this app where it's missing the uninstall feature. and... Please use the app store's "What's New" section to tell us WHAT'S NEW. *What* fixes or improvements? (Communication is part of software process quality, gives us confidence to update, and gets you more stars.)

I think this is a "New Android App" that is preloaded to new android devices. But i don't know how the developers didn't see how much device storage it takes. Along with if you don't want it you can't uninstall it or force shutdown because it just starts itself again.. I think it would be a great little tool to have & use, they just need to fix this issue of the amount of storage space it takes is too much & every update takes more storage..

An indispensable accessibility service that provides adaptive navigation for users with limited mobility.By mapping screen interactions to external physical switches or facial gestures,it ensures full smartphone usability without touch inputs, functioning reliably as a core system layer.

🚩SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUES 🚩 This app leaves your system wide open for corrupt files to encrypt malware into the console of your system. It will download silent apps that further brick the system as it continues to have control after uninstalling and deleting all traces that can be seen without entering the console.. which is a waste of time bc the malware injects itself onto other app frameworks encrypting a new location to spawn the malware.. It is a ZOMBIE virus inside of ChinaDroids!!!

very nice and easy to use this app

haven't had the time to explore with all my phone can do

hacked and being used constantly in the background without my permission and without ever showing. I only know after I go in it and see all of the usage even though I have constantly turned it off blocked turned off background usage and anything else related to it but you just turn on airplane mode, crooks.

Add to my phone without my consent likely with an update. Google also has my account set to child settings because I refuse to provide my ID. Other reviews explain that the app allows other devices access and cannot be uninstalled.

REAL UNINSTALL OPTION DESPERATELY NEEDED for Switch Access! Or is Google so desperate for $$ & users that this junk app can't be uninstalled if not wanted/needed? Today I hit the FALSE "UNINSTALL" button. It UPDATED instead!! That's so WRONG. This is the epitome of bloatware! I'm a large Alphabet stockholder & I'm so fed-up with Google because of the MANY problems I continually have with many of its products that I'm going to sell my shares. Google behaves like a MONOPOLY. Google, kiss my grits

what is this? why don't I have the option to uninstall? why would Google force an app on anyone that actually helps user privacy rights? switch access to WHO? get this bull$hit off of my cellular telephone device and don't worry about what I use my TELEPHONE for. nosy mfers

hacker app! and unfortunately this person is an app developer who continues to get me and is still getting away with it

Gave itself an automatic 5 star rating without my knowledge. Disable it ASAP.

Switch Access is a very useful accessibility app that makes Android devices easier to control for people who cannot use a touchscreen in the usual way. The customizable controls and switch-based navigation provide greater independence and make everyday tasks more accessible. Overall, an excellent and meaningful accessibility tool that helps make technology more inclusive.

i personally find it of no value or use . voice recognitional operations is easier of course one has to remember to be of volume for it to recognize.plus there's the waste of data space that can't be removed,not that I've found yet.

this piece of garbage garbage is all of a sudden running in the background constantly. killed 20% of my battery in 1 hour, and I never touched the phone. furthermore, phone was hot when I picked it up. I wish I could uninstall, disable will have to do.

it seems everyone praising this app and giving it high stars are using the same keywords such as rolled out.. it seems they are pushing hard for you to keep this or install it but I'm looking to get rid of it for security purposes . I think the only true reviews are the negative ones.. this app can be a way to hack you.. be careful people..

Forcing random app to all users without even a decent explanation of what it is for, it's a great recipe to completely lose already low trust in Google among users

Utterly pointless and useless. Although I am disabled, I do not have any mobility issues, so this app is of no use to me. So why is this app forced into the Android software? Please can the company responsible for this application, issue a patch so it can be deleted from the database. Do not have your phone set to auto update. Update manually. If it's something that I need, I should have the option to use it, but I don't need it or want it, so why can't it be deleted?Thank you.

This app are useless and use ur camera 24/7 track you, use location even if you disabled it. What dose Google do with all these information and why this app sends numerous data to 3rd part countries. It's obvious Google make app you don't use and take space and you can't remove it unless from the root. I don't recommend anyone use Google phones unless you are developer

this app refuses to uninstall. it allows your phone to be hijacked and hacked. a person has to only be within 65 ft to use it and they've been screwing my entire world up, changing settings and everything else. turning on the microphone, the whole gambit. I would have gave it 0 stars but 100 pitchforks, it's the devil. and now whoever it is using it keeps blocking the WiFi so it won't uninstall. I'm calling the police and I just put my brand new bank account number in. lawyers will be contacting

Have no idea how this app got on my tablet. I did not download this app and now I cannot uninstall this app. All I get now is being informed I need to update the app.. What do I do now. Only thing I can do ,is buy a new tablet. Wish there was a way for you people to buy a new tablet. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN . NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS

bloatware. not going to use it. so I don't want it slowing down my phone. could call it experimental. in which case. I definitely don't want it. uninstall option please

Built into android previously, made separate so it can be updated quicker rather than waiting for a System Update! NOT spyware or bloatware - it's just part of the system! People like me use accessibility features, if you don't - do not worry, it will not harm your phone.

I m not getting any help my quick step say not responding and I just turn it on and ul say the same and so does play store I have to go out and restart it two or more times before I can even do any games and the also the play store says I haven't played things i thinking about going back the old way to do thing but I really like playing

This is bloatware. I don't want it or use it on my device .Why isn't there an option to uninstall it? It takes up space and it gives hackers easy access!.

I've been TRYING to uninstall this app but I can't! I don't need it,never used it tho I've tried to see what it even does but still no clue! I'm 50 yrs old & only use my phone for calling,texting, Facebook & Google SO I definitely don't need this app! I figured out how to stop the automatic updates finally but I wish I could just uninstall it😩

Oh Great, Another App I Never Asked For Bcz clearly what I needed in life was yet another app silently installed after an update. Thanks for deciding for me who needs control over their own phone, right? It's always the same: no heads-up, no option to decline, just "we regret the inconvenience" like that magically fixes everything. If I wanted to be a tester for half-baked apps, I'd sign up for it. Until then, stop cluttering my phone with things I didn't ask for.

the phone doesn't have an icon for "settings". I can't access features about the phone and can't delete unwanted apps.

Why is this app even installed in first place? I don't want it, I don't usę it, I don't care about stuff like that (I don't even use Google camera app), frome where did it come from and for what? It gets more and more invasivę in recent months... All these apps provided by google and forcefully pushed into devices

Why would you installed this app on my device without asking for my permission? If I wanted any apps I would have installed it myself. What gives you the rights to secretly install these apps even if it's a tool developed by Google you should ask for permission to install it in anyone's device. Remove this app ASAP. I don't want this app on my device.

This is yet another example of an extra feature, that can't be removed or deleted, that most normal users would never use or know what it does. Switch Access app is the definition of preinstall bloatware. Unless you are a developer and know how to set this up and use it then it's bloatware!!! that takes resources up that you aren't ever going to use.

Hey if someone else has your information to get into your Google accounts or claim ownership to your Chromebook/Iaptop without knowing it's a huge security risk. Some of the apps can be used to not only commit fraud and identity theft but straight up terrorize the victim they're doing it to. let us uninstall the apps off our phones completely. I don't want or need this app anymore it's a waste of data and my GB storage. You guys at Google turn phones into horror stories with all these settings

This app is for accessibility features I don't get why people cry so much about certain apps on their device. it's accessibility features built into Android. Google has made Android system apps easier to update through the Play store so they can be updated much quicker and rolled out through the Play store instead of waiting for a system update.

this app appears as a system app but lets me un update it. claude ai has said because of the root app I did not out on my phone and the issues I'm having are most likely being used by this app maliciously, I saw the settings for it tonight snd they were pre configured by someone already and it makes sense as to why i have issues streaming and talking who i want to. along with a list of other problems. MAJOR problems any help would be awesome or even a response thank you

what the F is this? switch access to who? I'm only 1 person with 1 phone, I don't understand this at all so I will do the Logical thing and uninstall it, this action will be my first experience with this app ever in my entire life, the name sounds like it lets someone else use my phone, no thank you! I will keep my access as mine and not switch at all based on security and safety reasons,if I'm wrong someone isnt good at naming apps and should call it something less intrusive sounding

Basically allows for a third party (yourself or not) to access and view everything done internally on the phone. access to your operating system can be trigger by, raising an eye brow, looking left or right, and other illegal facial monitoring. as explained in the description scroll down and click "About this app" to see how else it's can access and automatically send all information contained in you're google/Microsoft accounts to third parties that aren't google/Microsoft.

This is A VIRUS that U can't get rid of (it won't delete I tried multiple times). it will slowly start taking control over your phone (such as closing apps while you're using them, opening up other apps on its own, glitching your phone, starts running slow, Freeze's up, stops functioning correctly) VERY frustrating even with the feature "turned off" (so u think) and it shows you Have Not even given it permission yet ((WoW))(((CrAzyAzZ.Psych0😳🙅🏼‍♀️)))

Terrible. Intuitiveness is almost absent, and definitely not enough for new or even occasional users to succeed. Only works once, if new owners know it's available. Why it must be retained is a mystery. Maybe keeps a job kingdom alive.

takes and saves images but will not allow you to see images. You can't uninstall the app after it randomly gets installed out of nowhere in the background.

I don't see the purpose of this app why give other apps permission to me turn on the apps in my face and my privacy and my protection this is not cause for we don't need this THIS APP IS NOT FOR ME AND I DON'T WANT OTHER APPS HAVING THE SAME PRIVACY, I WANT PROTECTION LOGIN FOR ALL APPS BUT NOT LOGIN AND NOT FROM ANYWHERE.. DIFFERENT CODE CREDENTIALS FOR EACH APP AND DEVICES.. SUCKS I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS YOU THROW THIS APP ON ME WITHOUT MY PERMISSION TO STOP GOOGLE

Not again... Yikes! This app gives you access to internal switches that developers use. It also gives others access to your switches too. I don't know how this managed to get installed, but it gives me nightmares. I can't even delete the app? Please ensure it is attacked by a tribe of wild bananas (who my auto fill suggests should sue the developer).

how do I uninstall this app not just updates I never signed up for this app You just added it to my phone. You did the same thing with the digital well-being and I cannot delete that either. very suspicious and is wasting my battery and my storage. Google needs to do better.

I read the reviews and like everyone else I cannot uninstall it. I realized that some phones come with certain apps so I flagged it as spam to Google. it is sad that we have to worry about what's going on on our phones that we cannot control! what's the purpose of having permissions if you can't change any of them? and I noticed there wasn't a response from Google on any of those bad reviews! that's suspicious!

accessibility,switch,talk back,quick share,digital wellbeing, along with many many more in the wrong hands can be easily manipulated and take full control of your device and all other devices and apps that go along with these updates I've lost 5 phones in 6 months all because once they into one at home or while in your vehicle yes that's right they even gave them the cherry on top. digital car key or simply wait till you turn on Bluetooth anything with your wifi or data now they have free will😡

ummm, was put on my phone without my knowledge or permission. I thoroughly review any update before allowing it on my phone. This app was not listed ANYWHERE in any update patch installs. So where'd it come from? Gives me the option to uninstall it so I will do that now. Just wanted to post my experience so others can relate. I don't really care what it does, it is not a necessary app for my phone to function and above all I never agreed to it being on my phone. Shady practices Google!

Not sure how I'm supposed to give something that just randomly appears in my apps menu that I have never even used and not sure how long it's even been there any # of stars.... But, I gave it the lowest possible because, BOTTOM LINE ILL ADD WHAT AND WHO I WANT TO MY LIFE AND PHONE!!!! And, to add an app without my permission feels invasive, and makes me highly suspicious!!

Hey this trash TF off ALL devices. Amongst others. I didn't install this and I didn't trust it all considering the security issues and events I've experienced throughout the past forever and a half. Cloning apps and devices to allow simultaneous access and manipulation is not of interest to me any longer.

this app was put onto my phone without My knowledge, and I have found other similar apps that pretty much control My Cell Phone, which is not very good feeling, knowing that someone else is deciding what call's I can take because My cell phone is a business number, and I need to take all of my phone calls. Also found out that My SIM Card is split, so that someone else is using My phone when I think that it is shut off. If you can't uninstall the App? A developer has blocked you.

App installed on phone , this app was installed on my phone. I was not the one to install it, the app it self isn't able to be shown without going into the app store. also I'm not able to uninstall it either, I've already tried and it won't let me. This entire time I thought there was something wrong with my phone bc it constantly shows that the camera is on or the microphone. also apps or games I've never installed, can't even trust your own phone at this point.

This app which I won't use because it reinstalls within an hour after I uninstall it. It reinstalls itself back into my shortcuts by taking out an app I use alot. This app gives 3 Switches to choose from. They are. #1.Switch via USB port. I don't have a USB port on my phone. #2.Switch Bluetooth devices. If I want to use Bluetooth it's easier just to go into settings #3.Switch camera settings by making facial gestures. Make faces at my phone to get the camera to work? Lots of fun hun? NOT

like so many other people have said..... I DID NOT INSTALL THIS APP MYSELF. I DO NOT NEED OR USE THE APP, so I wouldn't have searched for it to install in the first place. Google... why are you force installing apps on people's phones? ok, so it was part of Android accessibility suite, and now it is a separate app on Google play. BUT, since it's a separate app available for download, why did it get installed without my permission?

i never for this app while I was updating my apps this app jumped right n. so I want it to go away. I tried disabling ECT. can you please 🥺 fix your bugs in it I will try again in a couple of days. thank you

isn't there another way to introduce an app other than automatically installing it? my earlier review was way off target because I didn't understand its functionality. of course there's many peeps that don't want to be bothered to learn what magic the programmers have invented. Sure, I'm inundated with offers for newest Pixel. How about offering quick edutainment. l hope there are others like me, drinking from the fire hose, leveling up to highly effective productivity

Disregarding mandatory bloatware concerns, I have no idea if this app functions as described. I do know that multiple screenshots on the store page have typos in the app (switchea instead of switches, keuboard instead of keyboard). Saw those and had to double check if this was actually a Google app or if I had somehow picked up malware from somewhere. Come on guys

why can macros be set depending on facial expressions and no way to disable it. seems like a way to gather data and a.i to then be showing different videos dependant on how a person is feeling overly invasive

Did not give permission for this to be downloaded on my phone. Doesn't show up in downloads in my phone as an app. No option to remove this app. If I knew that Motorola was connected to Google in the way that it completely takes over your phone and all of your private information plus installs apps I never consented to I would have never have purchased this phone. Prime example of white collar crimes pretending to keep your data safe but actually hacking you unknowingly internally. shame on you

didn't want this put on my phone without my consent as with a lot of apps oh and did I mention you can't get rid of it either! Sorry I sound negative I just am tired of choices being made for me loaded on to MY DEVICE I PAID FOR!!! I like a lot about Google I even had a blast in Mountain View riding your Google mountain bikes but come on guys let me have a choice!!!😉

I don't need this. I don't want this. I uninstalled it a while back. you forced it back on my phone and now I can't uninstall it nor disable it. STOP 🛑 and take it off my phone. if I ever need it in the future I'll get it then.

I did not put this on my phone and I kept turning it off, and it kept turning back on. I just don't like it when technology just does whatever it wants.

@adamkennedy, that is exactly what I need. where to, my only problem is that when I try to set my permissions allowed , su h as allow, na, ow, etc. there is a veil blockage, kinda opaque in color, that doesn't allow me to even touch. so the hack there is remote monitoring, and I can't seem to find how to access the original default app(s), even after a factory reset. I can not even change my keyboard. it really suxxs and fact that I know nothing of what I'm doing.

switch access should not come ready made on any phone. it should be for disabled individuals only. the rest of us can fall victim to hackers using it. controlling our devices with it. I know, I'm going thru it and the thing is..I can't uninstall the app from my phone. if you're not disabled,apps like this one, good as they may be , stay tucked away in settings and never really thought about. that is until someone has a brilliant idea with their evil mind. so, please developer serious security.

I love Android & I love my Google Pixel but I wish they would stop forcing things that are optional & then not let you uninstall it. If this works it can be a lifesaver for those who need it. I completely understand it from that point of view ... BUT ... it should still be optional. Now I have another app that I don't use, I don't want & lost more space on my phone!! Just make it optional. Its fine if its pre installed when the phone is new but it would be great if we could uninstall it.

too many things to figure out still 🌟it's new to me so I have to check out all the information there's only two updates the people talk about and they don't get too high scores q I will try it in a couple days when I can take it into the store and make sure this is something that I need if the app itself want to tell me a little bit more about this

used to work without a lot of drama, now it gets in a weird background state burning battery and forgets it is enabled...seems to think you need to pair a switch when all I need is for the volume button to execute a shortcut.

This is an accessibility app. it's aimed at persons with mobility/ dexterity issues. Accessibility comes as standard on all phones, it's not an option. You can choose whether to update it unless someone has updated all apps for you. If you don't like this then move off android (and if you think Apple offers more choice, keep dreaming) or to Linux mobile etc. Don't want this with an android version X update, never update!! That simple. Being non optional means every developer can code for it.

Oh Great, Another App I Never Asked For Bcz clearly what I needed in life was yet another app silently installed after an update. Thanks for deciding for me 😑who needs control over their own phone, right? It’s always the same: no heads-up, no option to decline, just “we regret the inconvenience” like that magically fixes everything. If I wanted to be a tester for half-baked apps, I’d sign up for it. Until then, stop cluttering my phone with things I didn’t ask for.

Accessibility, yeah sure... another excuse to keep the camera on and have access to all its line of sight, this is a good one Google, but I'm disabling this immediately.

yay, another program you don't need but can't get rid of. what happened to Android software? it used to be customizable by the user to fit their needs. now all the companies are making far too much money farming your data to sell to the highest bidder.. so no more removing apps that prevent them from learning and farming your data

This app is a part of the Android operating system, which has been separated into a modular, upgradable component as part of Google's Project Mainline. Basically, this means it can be updated by Google directly, without needing to wait for a full Android upgrade. Its status as a part of the OS explains the "intrusive" permissions that other reviews have complained about, and its "undesired" presence on their devices. Also, notice that this module is an accessibility tool!

I don't understand why this app can't be uninstalled. It says downloaded by Google play, that means after the phone was set up. This was downloaded by a person at the phone store? Was how it was explained to me. I am tired of being hacked by someone and I want control of my phone and information or data is used. Why will this app affect the functioning of my device?

I don't have an OS device..it does me no good. Hackers on ps devices use it to help them control my phone,all to control me..that is against the law is it not? They are able to make the font so small ,I can't see the screen,the numbers on the screen so small that my fingers are to fat to accurately type,letters or numbers.i could tell you much more...they add other apps to hinder me in my use. One more thing,I can not deleT it off of my phone. This app must be quite a tool for whoever is hacking

I did not install this app. It probably works fine and sounds like a great idea too. It's just that I think it will ultimately be a problem when it comes to people breaking trust and invading privacy. What I mean is someone may be using outside switch access when I don't know it.... 🤔 Maybe.

It's a neat way to control your phone, but not really accurate, triggers when you don't want it to, doesn't sometimes when you do want it to (not meaning enabling itself but clicking on things), & doesn't have enough triggers. It doesn't work in low-light either. For Google: How about head movements as a trigger? I'd use it if it had more triggers & was reliable.

Why does it need so much access why can't I delete it why is my phone behaving strange since the Android 14 update.... I obviously don't need this as my Google drive is accessible across all my devices so Evan if I loose or break my phone I can use Google to either lock the phone from a different device.... Screencast is separate to this I can't Evan use a USB c to hdmi on this phone so I don't get this "operational app' personally I think Google are been dirty since removing VPN

If you are using Google and have turned on backup, you don't need this switch app because it doesn't work! Since Google does not back up my Signal chat, they are lost when I go to a new phone! That is the behavior I would expect but I certainly don't need switch access.

"Switch Access helps you interact with your Android device using one or more switches instead of the touchscreen. Switch Access can be helpful if you can't interact directly with your device." ▪ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES FOR THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED SHOULD NOT COME PRE-INSTALLED ON NEW ANDROID DEVICES! ▪️THIS IS ONE OF THE APPS BEING USED TO REMOTELY ACCESS AND TAKE OVER EVERY DEVICE I BUY WITHIN HOURS -AND I CANNOT REMOVE IT I WILL SOON LOSE EVERYTHING BECAUSE I CANT SECURE A PHONE OR PC FAST ENOUGH

For every one out there complaining about this "update" just it's a setting you can choose to turn on and setup if you want, in case you lose function of your screen somehow, like breaking it... uninstall the update, and disable if you can, and don't use the setting... Only giving 1 star because I don't think I need this, never tried updating it or even using this setting.

Had bought the ThinkPhone by Motorola for the "claims" of better privacy and security settings and my expectations were crushed to bits as soon as I started using the device. Slightly less bloatware than typical android devices yet it still consists of Google's impossible to uninstall "necessary to function" apps that's just a suffocatingly gargantuan amount of hidden and unnecessary apps that's purely there to gather more information to sell. ALL Personal info is on the dark web due to this!

I do not see the relevance in gifting is with app that allegedly helps us when we can't actually access the app. It's just another in a long line of forced apps on our devices that can be controlled by everyone except for the person that purchased the device or responsible for keeping in service. It's intrusive and insulting. Stop treating people like they are crazy for calling out your unethical treatment of consumers. If you had true transparency it would be different. Privacy is dead. Jesus!

Notice that you remove this "operating system app" from the library of apps on the device app list. That's not nefarious at all...... Some of us would like to regain the control over our hardware as in the days of 2010. By hiding these apps and removing control from uses purchased hardware, you place us at greater risk of damage and loss of function. Users should be able to control what apps have access to networks and other hardware, at anytime.

More bloat software, I get that accessibility is needed, but considered adding it as an optional app instead of forcing every phone to have it, I don't need these accessibility features, others might, let them download it to their devices. Stop forcing bytes of code and memory hoarders on phones that don't want or need

This should be epic fr some categories of people in the world,but I don't need it and I wish this newer would .but U arogant people didn't consider option of uninstall. if I have 1000 $ or 800 I won't buy S 25 or similar handy ,I will spend on something else much propriet like a lap top with bigger memory and GUI not integrated in processor.give me the uninstall option and I will give u better score

It enables hacking if not properly configured and the end user also is on open unsecured WiFi networks please be careful. And please Google can you dedicate more resources to end user / client security development and apps that make non tech folks want to become involved in their own cyber security practices? Many are unaware just how much these devices are really capable of. Many of us are vulnerable due to a multitude of settings options without even knowing where to start.

This is an extremely useful and helpful app although the helpfulness of the app can depend on whether or not if you've set it up before smashing/disablizing the touch screen you can regain control of your device after dropping and breaking it but it must be set up beforehand. Excellent last resort option to transfer all data to new phone if old one breaks.

This is a scam, Google had access to all your info but some smart developers came up with blocks. Google is now trying to split out various parts of OS to get deep access again.

Just for context: this app is a part of the Android operating system, which has been separated into a modular, upgradable component as part of Google's Project Mainline. Basically, this means it can be updated by Google directly, without needing to wait for a full Android upgrade. Its status as a part of the OS explains the "intrusive" permissions that other reviews have complained about, and its "undesired" presence on their devices. Also, notice that this module is an accessibility tool!

I am giving this app 5 stars because it is easy to use and has a lot of features. I also like that it is free to use. I think this app is a great way to give people more independence and control over their devices.

Every time I open my device. This app constantly prompts me to install it . I don't want the app and have even complained to Google though nothing has been done to stop the constant annoying harassment.. surely after so many reviews saying the same thing.. Why doesn't Google remove this app completely

I don't like it,it's like openning a app and seeing that you can't use it like what,it doesn't work for me it's bad and i don't like it it has too much crashes and sooooo much access needed

I don't know where this app actually came from or why it keeps popping up and telling me to turn it on. Epson some better explanation of what it's supposed to do it is just a pain in the rear

Switch does not work!!! Impalpable, never succeeded, always replys that it is unsuccessful regarding point of entry. I have read numerous times that this app is not applicable. I have ignore this suggestion numerous times and eventually downloaded it. Big mistake, I should have listened to what others have said and gone with my instinct. Failure all the way and completely. I have now uninstalled this worthless app. I felt that this app was a failure and the app never explained anexplaination.

I don't understand why this app keeps popping up. I didn't install it. The notification is such a nuisance and there is no easy way to remove this app completely

❌ --- Me Too , just like many in here ... Don't know how this App. work , necessary or not. Each person are need differently and we are not the Apps. expert.

Got That ...!!! --- ❌
