New to RustDesk – Getting Android Security Warnings (Even on GPay!) | Should I Be Worried?
​
Hey everyone!
I recently switched from Chrome Remote Desktop to RustDesk for accessing my laptop remotely, and so far I'm loving it — but I've run into something that's making me a little nervous.
Ever since installing RustDesk, I've been getting security warnings on my Android device related to the new security policy changes. What's even weirder is that **Google Pay is also throwing up some kind of "payment protection" notification**, which I'm guessing is related.
I did a little digging and I think it has something to do with RustDesk needing accessibility/overlay permissions that Android's newer security policies flag as potentially risky — but I'm not 100% sure.
**My questions:**
- Is this normal behavior after installing RustDesk?
- Should I actually be worried about the GPay warnings?
- Is there a way to fix or suppress these warnings without compromising security?
- Did anyone else run into this when switching from Chrome Remote Desktop?
I'm not super technical so any plain-English explanation would be hugely appreciated. I just want to be able to remote into my laptop without my phone thinking I'm being hacked lol.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
