Apps on my phone are taking advantage of me

[AprilB331]

hello fellow galaxy users, i just have a question hoping anyone can help! so, it doesn't seem to matter  what kind of phone i have, or if i create new accounts, or new numbers with random names, doesn't matter if its ios or android, how is it that someone close to me, can always get into my phone, and i mean like putting apps on my phone as system apps that cannot be removed, literally doing whatever they please with my stuff, watching me, following me, using my personal information to their advantage. I've tried literally, everything you can possibly think of, down to even trying to reach out to the fbi, with no help. its ruined my whole life, everything i once knew, had, and worked hard for my whole life, gone! its like once it started i didn't even realize it was happening, then one day you sit back and look back on the last 5yrs, of everything, ruined, stolen, just taken from me like it was a piece of candy 🥺 anyway, please someone tell me they know something, how its done, or what I can do to prevent it on a different device so i can live again! i don't have enough space nor time to make people understand what this has done to me physically, emotionally, and health wise, all the stress, heart break, depression, that people out there can be so cruel to other human beings! any advice will help!!

First thought is go to your samsung account on the website and under devices look at what shows if any listed phone isn't yours tap the sign out on it second thing to do is change your password have numbers and capital letter in it and set up 2fa also for the same woth Google account after that try to uninstall any apps thst shouldn't be there

ive tried that, theres literally screen curtains or whatever its called, what my mom can see on her phone, i cannot see on mine, idk its hard to explain. they just screen mirror or clone my o
phone, so they have all my info. right now i have a cheap a16 5g phone, but i have 523 apps on it lol only which like 8 I personally have downloaded. most of them seem to be overlays, or apks, idk, i dont want to sound stupid but thats just what I see when I try to get slick and download an app that will tell me everything thats on my phone

Please look at my comments. I KNOW EXACTLY what youre experiencing. Mane i thought i was losing my mind. The fonts icons all that was changing. But it has SOMETHING TO DO WITH sync, Google system services, location services, and Map.

Did you see some weird rendering of Google search during Winter Olympics? Like round February 9-13

like this picture for example, how can i deny root access but if you look at what it says right under the pop up box, states it uses root permissions to uninstall apps in the background?? 🤔🤨

Last resort is a factory reset

Ok

If you are sure your accounts are not compromised (assume they are if you have not changed your passwords from an uncompromised device on an uncompromised network), then if you connect to your home wi-fi, your router may be compromised.  Have your provider either swap out your router or completely reset it.  Change the SSID and password to your network and make sure you change the administrator password of your router, as the whole world knows the default is "password".

One or more of your accounts are definitely compromised if this happens over and over again with different phones or after resetting the phone.  Never restore a backup after incidents like this, or you will keep installing any controlware.  Reset the phone and start from the beginning.

i will try that, i didn't really think about it possibly being my router, thank you!

Sister... its something to do with Android Chrome Webview.

The ONLY way i was able to fix it was to go to Developer Settings and search for anything related to OVERLAYS or WEBVIEWS.

specifically some kind of EXPERIMENTAL FLAGS related to Android WebViews.

I had to disable like 140  weird SDK.. Api... Apk whatever it was. I have spent $700;searchimg for that solution.

Does your screen sometimes look 'milky'? Do Not Disturb is on for ALLapps? Your "Settings" sometimes jiggles?
