Enabling accessibility on Android 13 or later

On Android 13 or later, accessibility services are restricted for apps not downloaded from Google Play or HUAWEI AppGallery. You must manually allow accessibility services if you downloaded Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android from the Kaspersky Security Center server or the Kaspersky website.

If you update the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app using a Kaspersky Security Center installation package or APK file from the Kaspersky website, accessibility services will be disabled. You must manually enable accessibility services again.

Accessibility is used for the following purposes:

• Check websites and apps in Kaspersky Security Network
• Lock the device in case of theft
• Display warnings
• Block the camera when restricted by the administrator
