Well I run GrapheneOS so its not a problem I deal with myself.

I’ve done some research and it seems that a bunch of new settings and permission options have been introduced in android 14 (looks like a bunch of GrapheneOS features have been merged). I assume when they implemented this it overwrote a bunch of shit. It seems like this is the cause of changed settings. U will also be running a Samsung fork and its known they like to change ur privacy options on update so give those a check.

Google made a change to play store to auto open apps https://www.androidpolice.com/google-play-store-can-now-automatically-open-newly-installed-apps/

Sorry I didn’t need to be such a dick about it but without that info its incredibly hard to help in any way.

OK what phone? What android version? What google play version.

Usually when asking for support provide as much info as possible. If u wanna ask vague questions go to Dr GPT

Yeah the devs are doing an excellent job. I would like to see it ship with fdroid tho.

Wait chrome doesn’t have this? I’ve had this on ff for literal years

I run GrapheneOS its a 3rd party degoogled ROM with lots of great security features. Its also incredibly entertaining every time google or apole comes out with a new security update or patch to a critical security issue and the GrapheneOS devs go yeah we did that 2years ago.
