Youve never actually had that happen if you think its that easy.

Guys no…

  1. You cant wipe a phone remotely with your google sign on unless “find my device” is enabled, which it never was.

  2. My phone does not just give access automatically to any device plugged into it. You are REQUIRED to give permission from the phone. Which cant be done because the screen is fucked.

  3. Your phone SHOULDNT be accessible in this scenario because allowing any device to just plug in and download everything with no authentication is a security risk.

It is still possible to unlock an android phone with a fucked screen.

I had to do this once and managed to unlock the phone with a USB mouse. It took me a while to get the right pattern, but it is possible.
