When the legitimate device owner marks the device as missing or stolen from the Prey control panel and triggers a lock with password, the Accessibility Service blocks other apps from being opened until the correct unlock password is entered. Prey does NOT use the AccessibilityService API to: • Record audio, calls, or keystrokes • Capture content from other apps • Change user settings without consent • Prevent uninstallation by the device user • Bypass Android's privacy controls Granting the Accessibility permission is optional and is only requested when Remote Screen Lock protection is enabled. You can revoke this permission at any time from Settings → Accessibility → Prey. ⌦ How to Uninstall Prey: For anti-theft protection, Prey requires the Device Admin permission, which prevents unauthorized users from removing the app. This is a separate permission from the Accessibility Service described above. To uninstall Prey, sign in on the login screen, disable the Device Admin permission, and then remove the app like any other.
