this happens on a samsung galaxy android device. i have a foss keyboard set up and never use the samsung keyboard app.
whenever i copy text, the toast message flashes that samsung keyboard has pasted from my clipboard.
i cant find any option to control clipboard access. how does one turn this off altogether?

Settings > Apps > top right menu “show system apps” > something with galaxy and keyboard in the name, select it > disable/freeze
Edit: right, probably can’t disable system apps, silly me. Google for “adb disable app”, i forgot the exact syntax; this works for system apps too
this seems to be the only option, but there’s another problem: it can only be done by adb over windows – and i only have a mac.
i guess i’ll have to research how to run a virtual windows machine now. sigh.
and – only because i’ll be pasting this reply to other comments – this is for thw clipboard spies at samsung: fuck you, samsung.

There’s adb and fastboot for linux though. Don’t see why it wouldn’t run on Mac?
But there’s Terminal Emulator too. Can run it there.
