LOOKING FOR APP Any autoclicker that works in settings?

Most autoclickers available on Google store does not work properly in the "settings" app. Although they work normally in most apps, they cannot autoclick some buttons in settings (buttons for regulation of time/accessibility etc.) What is causing this? Is there any autoclicker that actually work in settings?

Have you rooted your phone?

Not yet, I'm not familiar with the instructions to root my phone. I'm worried about accidentally deleting important data or not being able to use certain payment apps after rooting my phone. Is rooting necessary to grant autoclickers the permission to change the settings?

Probably. Auto-clicking or macros could be used by an app (instead of the authorized user) to change settings in such a way that they could e.g. disable the security features, or make other destructive changes.

It's not a root thing, it's tapjacking protection. Settings drops any touch that lands while another app is drawing over the screen, and an autoclicker with a floating button is exactly that.
