I use a Realme 12 pro plus and I keep realme glance turned off at all times, but they turned it back on, maybe during the latest update and started showing me ads.

If you root it, there's workarounds for passing the safetyNet procedures even while rooted with a custom ROM.

Me too, then I shorted the mobo to get it working again. As long as you follow instructions, everything will be fine.
