Call Management keeps pasting from my clipboard every time I copy something

I couldn't disable the app nor block its network access :)

Too bad I can't replace this phone anytime soon (Vivo Y15a).

Must be checking if you copied a phone number, but still creepy.

I think you're right. It had a prompt to paste the copied number after entering the phone app. Still, I'm never going to trust this phone ever lol

As others mentioned, it seems like the clipboard monitor for phone numbers has crashed. I can't speak to Vivo as a brand but usually this is not nefarious just a QoL feature to allow pasting into a dialer or dial directly from clipboard pop-up when it is copied.

Good luck with your struggles.

Does a reboot fix the issue? Seems like it's recognizing something as a phone number which isn't a phone number. A reboot might reset whatever daemon is causing the issue.
