Sounds like you don't understand tech at all. Some of us have been using smart phones since palm and blackberry. Earlier versions of Android didn't need the confirmation at all, assuming that it was defaulted to file access.

I've been android since the beginning and my last few phones (all pixels) I don't remember having to approve the usb connection after the first time.

Can you plug a random phone into a pc and access files? Probably not.

Can you plug your own phone into a pc it's been connected to prior and access files even with a broken screen? More likely yes, than no.

You and the other minions downvoting me should try reading my entire comments as many times ad needed for you to grasp the very basic concepts at play.

And to repeat. You have no idea how the file system on android works. You most definitely can delete/backup/etc the photos, screenshots, etc on the phone via USB. You can not easily access app data as thats encrypted and stored elsewhere.

You kids need to get off the internet before you hurt yourself.

This is starting to feel more and more like reddit, that's not a good thing.
