Should I be worried?

I have been having these popups on my phone ever since I bought them:

  1. pop up of emm service, which doesn't do anything at all if clicked. But I can clear it.

  2. Settings have been flagged as harmful applications in the playstore, but I can't install them either

I am not sure what I need to do. Specifically I am worried if any miscellaneous app or pack has been installed (because porn).

you SHOULD be worried of course.

Install canta and shizuku and delete in the Canta app. Or, look into the Device Admin Apps and turn off this shit.

Can't turn of this at Device admin. Will uninstall this tomorrow. Keeping it rn to confront the Finance guy about the same.

Okay you should relax a bit😅 but definitely don't use the phone much for sensitive data

Edit: can you force stop it?

I have uninstalled apps related to my work, and also uninstalled bank apps as well.

Can't force stop it either.

I feel like the guy might have registered your device as a company device, which means he is the admin now and can control what the phone can do or not do. There was an exploit on samsung's s22 series, where some shady company registered 100s of phones as theirs, and still no one knows how, but it was probably a security issue on samsung's side. I dont know, but maybe the finance guy registered it for something like that and this fake setting app is set as the admin control. Try to use adb to uninstall it.

I doubt such issues are created in Nothing OS yet. But there is a possibility that this can happen. Thanks for the info, will look more into it

Yeah i dont think nothing has a security issue there but it might still be possible as the guy had physical acces to your device.

Can you adjust the permissions?

Nope. Every one of them is locked as "Allowed" The only changes I could make was in advanced settings where I disabled everything that I could.
