    Interesting, but that could defeat the usefulness of some remote access apps. They should put a toggle somewhere in the developer options

      Toggle in the dev options would only be one more instruction step for the scammers, defeating the purpose of hiding OTP from screen sharing in the first place.

        Serious idea - add a warning on enabling dev menu it’s often used by scammers.
        If user still gets scammed through this path, then there was probably no helping them anyway.

          Or, serious idea too: only allow it through ADB and only get the adb toggle with warning but no explanation as to how to use it behind the 5 taps on version number.

          I’m pretty sure as soon as the instructions to get a banking app involves downloading stuff on a computer, connecting the phone, getting into cli…most people would have gone on to find the real app.
