Android Central Question
Someone I know put a malicious app on my Huawei p20 Pro so she could send the contents of my phone to herself, messages/ calls/other info.
I factory reset it but am not convinced its off and I have seen her since I have reset it and didn't keep my phone off or super secure I just tried to make sure data was off when I was using it and Bluetooth was.
The 'auto restore settings to apps when they are redownloaded' selection is on and I would like it off but it is ghosted . I've turned off display over other apps for everything I can but it's still ghosted.
The Systems UI app seems to have a lot of permission and I would really like to take it off my phone but cannot see a way to do it, there is no place to uninstall and there it doesn't appear on my screen with my other apps, only in settings, apps etc.
There are other things that look suspicious.
Is there anyway that malware/spyware/malicious sharing app can stay on my phones' hardware/software after factory reset?
If so, any solutions?
What can I do to keep it super secure from installing/sharing in the future.
Thanks for you're help.
