## Description

AutoInput is a powerful Android automation plugin that enables you to automate any app's UI actions without requiring root access. By leveraging accessibility services, AutoInput lets you simulate touches, write text, and react to on-screen events or physical keys, empowering advanced automation scenarios. It is fully integrated with Tasker, allowing dynamic control over app behaviors such as toggling GPS, replying to messages, or extracting on-screen text like song names.

Highlighted features include the ability to unlock your Android device using face recognition on Android 7+ devices, automate UI interactions on any app, and respond to UI changes or button clicks. AutoInput is free to use with rewarded ads. Keep in mind that some functionalities are limited on Android 6 or lower due to system restrictions on webviews. For full usage, Tasker must be installed. Trusted by sites like Lifehacker and Android Central, AutoInput is your solution for seamless Android UI automation and event-driven control.

## Review summary

AutoInput enables non-root UI automation and Tasker integration, praised for expanding automation possibilities. Users report it works well with Tasker and can automate a range of apps and devices. However, there are recurring issues with stability and Android 15/Samsung navigation compatibility, plus accessibility conflicts and some confusion about Tasker requirements. Support and timely updates are often criticized, which affects reliability.

### Pros

- Automates UI functions without root access, replacing features that typically require root.
- Strong Tasker integration; widely regarded as an essential add on for Tasker.
- Useful for automating third party apps and devices such as Bluetooth clicker and Alexa/Google controlled apps.
- Fun to learn and set up, enabling powerful, customizable automations.

### Cons

- Stability issues: frequent crashes, freezes, and unresponsiveness after updates.
- Significant compatibility problems with Android 15 and Samsung navigation bar, often breaking bottom navigation.
- Accessibility service conflicts that disable navigation buttons or cause other UI issues.
- Unclear usage without Tasker and questions about Tasker requirements, reducing reliability.
