Suppose my screen breaks, and I can no longer operate it via touch, but I can still see parts of the screen although broken.
In this case, can I connect to my Android device via a mouse (for instance, a Bluetooth mouse, or a mouse via USB hub that allows me to charge my phone or keep it charged while keeping a USB mouse attached simultaneously)?
This way I could back up some pictures that were not saved to Google photos, WhatsApp chats, or other data.
So, this could be useful (navigating with a mouse when your screen is broken and does not respond to touch).
Is Android configured by default to support this behavior? If not, then i think it should. I don't know which screens break the touch sensor only when they break, but perhaps quite a few. In this case, if Android is not preconfigured to allow this behavior, the mouse will not be able to operate, and the data will be unrecoverable.
Thank you for your answers.
