    It’s been happening lately on my S22 Ultra. Very annoying. If I didn’t think I’d brick my phone, I would root it. Well first I would figure out what rooting is… :\

      One of the drawbacks of rooting is that it might keep you from using certain apps like banking apps because they see this as a security risk.

      I fucking hate how banks have taken security to be as intrusive but never secure. Fucking plane text card numbers and no 2fa or confirmation of purchases and limited ability to stop usage besides ordering a new card is fucking lazy at this point.

        That might be your bank. My bank is as annoying as you describe, but it is as secure as you’re saying it should be. 2FA, they hold up suspicious purchases to see if it’s really me, I can lock and unlock my cards from the app. Smaller banks tend to be the way to go, or credit unions if you have a good one nearby.

      All those disclaimers are out there for liability purposes. It is highly unlikely that you will brick your phone as long as you follow the instructions and avoid making any modifications to the way the hardware runs (do not overclock, do not underclock etc).

        Yeah, I understand. Maybe I’ll get more confident. I’d feel better if I had my old phone to practice on first. Thanks!
