Teamviewer- Knox policy issue

[Haranshdeep]

I want to use Teamviewer but it require wierd knox permission to work and all the policy is only avialable in hindi so its even more sketchy. What is it trying to do and Is it safe to use teamviewer or it can trip knox?

[samfan91]

Anydesk and TeamViewer frequently used to scam people for OTP messages to steal internet banking access, SIM card porting and etc...

Samsung is just trying to get consent from users before using these apps so that you can't legally sue them later.

i want to use it on my other device and no other person have access to it. so is it safe?

[samfan91]

It's safe only, just don't share it with unknown person. Make sure you disable auto connect feature and put password.

[Haranshdeep]

put password on what?

[samfan91]

You can set password for screen sharing, if anyone wants to connect with your device they need to get password from you.

will that knox policy affect my usage in future?
