Live alerts overlay: identifies risky messages instantly and displays warnings directly over them via Android Accessibility Service.

Application permissions
To protect you from scams, Protexo needs the following permissions:
Accessibility Service – to scan message content from the above apps for malicious links and scams. Only links are shared; the rest of your messages remain private and local. Also, to display alerts directly on top of scam messages, so you know exactly which message is risky.
Contacts Access – to identify messages from unknown senders. This is optional. If you grant access, your contact list is never shared externally.
