Samsung Keyboard pasted from clipboard

[EachUisge]

I use Gboard. Whenever I copy anything now, I get the message above telling me that Samsung keyboard has pasted from my clipboard. Is there a way to disable this? Not the warning message but the action.

If I delete everything on the Gboard clipboard and swap keyboards it's all still there in the Samsung clipboard which is not ideal.

I have only noticed this recently and I don't get the same message on my Tab S9.

glad to see this is picking up some traction - this is quite unacceptable from a security perspective if passwords are copied and pasted from a password manager. Can Samsung please address and provide a response.

[sammenot]

I'm getting the behaviour under ui7. Your comments don't address anyone's security concerns and is rather offensive to be honest.

This is a huge privacy risk. Samsung Keyboard has been stealing my passwords and fragments of very personal conversations.

Fix this or I will be replacing this phone with a non-Samdung one very soon.

News flash,  Samsung has always been able to read what's on your clipboard. Are you using RCS? Is your correspondent using RCS because both you have to in order to get end-to-end encryption. iPhone only offers encryption in transit. You can even use Signal or telegram. You can use OverSec a little learning curve but it's useful only on Android though. Or don't cut and paste.

You are incredibly naive. I can give you a list of exploits that has been working since gingerbread, granted many of them don't work on Samsung but some of them still do Including UI7  Like for example Samsung has never encrypted the clipboard which any app on your device can potentially read The clipboard has never been secure and still isn't.

• This is extremely annoying and a worrying security risk. If Samsung doesn't disable this "feature" this is the last Samsung I buy and will actively campaign against Samsung as a security risk.

I am one of the users that are extremely worried with and the fact that some people are trying to reduce its significance tells us even more.

Let's recap, to see if those who are licking Samsung's boots, grasp at least a little respect for those facing this wrong, invasive, potentially harmful, security issue.

We prefer not to use Samsung's Keyboard and it seemed as a easy setting, until UI 7. Now it seems impossible to deactivate it. Even if we set another keyboard to use, it remains active.

That said, we should have ways to keep the darn thing from reading our information. 

Here, in Brazil, this "feature" even violate LGPD laws.

So, instead of trying only to deviate and disdain the SEVERE SECURITY ISSUE, I think we should talk about its necessity, legality and impossibility to deactivate.

I've been a Samsung user and defensor since the S3 series and will change brand if Samsung insists on this annoying, potentially risky and nosy behavior.

If you can use ADB, you can uninstall the keyboard, which stopped it for me.

In ADB shell: `pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.honeyboard`
