I couldn’t disable the app nor block its network access :)
Too bad I can’t replace this phone anytime soon (Vivo Y15a).
Must be checking if you copied a phone number, but still creepy.
I think you’re right. It had a prompt to paste the copied number after entering the phone app. Still, I’m never going to trust this phone ever lol
Is there a SoftwareGore community here on lemmy?
Nice
As others mentioned, it seems like the clipboard monitor for phone numbers has crashed. I can’t speak to Vivo as a brand but usually this is not nefarious just a QoL feature to allow pasting into a dialer or dial directly from clipboard pop-up when it is copied.
Good luck with your struggles.
I think it’s time to call management
They’re the ones holding the clipboards
Does a reboot fix the issue? Seems like it’s recognizing something as a phone number which isn’t a phone number. A reboot might reset whatever daemon is causing the issue.
Maybe root the phone and remove bloat?
I don’t think rooting is really the right answer. Custom ROMs maybe but not rooting
Maybe adb disabling the app? (No root required)
