Switch Access is a very useful accessibility app that makes Android devices easier to control for people who cannot use a touchscreen in the usual way. The customizable controls and switch-based navigation provide greater independence and make everyday tasks more accessible. Overall, an excellent and meaningful accessibility tool that helps make technology more inclusive.

This piece of garbage is all of a sudden running in the background constantly. Killed 20% of my battery in 1 hour, and I never touched the phone. Furthermore, phone was hot when I picked it up. I wish I could uninstall, disable will have to do.

Trust & Safety: Switch Access relies on the Accessibility Service to observe actions, window content, and typed text, and uses camera-based switches for navigation. This aligns with common accessibility patterns; users should review requested permissions (including camera and network-related ones) to assess privacy and safety before enabling the service.
