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?

Freeze the Samsung keyboard app is the route i would take
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.
Adb is availible for Mac and Linux too, so maybe start using your brain (assuming the rare case in which you have one)
