I don't but I find accounts that are not mine I find google device policy on my phones that are.installed. How do I prevent.it from installing on my phone. I've waked out of apple in tears because.they can't and.won't help me stop this. Samsung re flashed my phone. ( obviously two separate phones)/and said that's all.they can so. I'm at the end of my rope.

I can think of these possibilities:

Some well-resourced nation-state or criminal-gang actor is spending massively valuable zero-day attacks on you (this seems fairly unlikely given you have had trouble with multiple device types),
Somebody with physical access to your device while it is unlocked is installing the apps on your devices and granting elevated permissions. It is even possible that it's being done by you: if you download and install lots of apps from various sources, some might be malicious, and it can be easy to accidentally approve permissions an app asks for.

Which unlock methods are you using? For example, are you using a short and/or guessable PIN? When one of your devices has been exploited, have you used a different PIN for the next device?

Install GrapheneOS on a Pixel, DO NOT install google services, make sure you use a strong screen lock, and finally, make absolutely certain that you never let ANYONE use your phone besides yourself.

Follow those steps and it will be absolutely impossible for anyone to install any of those things on your phone.

Ok I did. I just have one strange thing. I have a program that I don't know if it was pre installed. And I can't turn on one protection and it's concerning to me. Under settings>security & privacy > exploit protection > memory tagging > show system apps there is the Pixel Camera Services disabled. Abs I can't enable it. Is that OK/normal ?

bhj77

Well I'm not going it on what I do for.a living and won't go into it, but yes I think it'd the second option. I think its an ex.also. I've have read about how easy it is to also get hacked through bluetooth. I would also like help with the problem without the sarcasm please I'm in a stressful enough situation with out you being rude thank you.

bhj77 at this point I'd say wipe the device start over. Be mindful of what you install, use 2fa pin. Maybe duress pin too?
Use a 6digit random pin not something guessable.

You can turn off the Bluetooth if you are worried about that. And remember to always lock the phone when not using it, with a decent password. With GrapheneOS you can also turn it into "before first unlock" state every 10 minutes of necessary.
