Adding device verification
I propose introducing device verification to prevent profile manipulation and the addition of devices a tester doesn’t actually own. Some testers add extra devices to increase their chances of receiving invitations to test cycles; this is usually detected and may result in account bans. However, it would be more effective to prevent unverified devices from being added in the first place, eliminating this opportunity and reducing enforcement overhead.

Hi, Viacheslav! Thank you very much for your thoughtful suggestion and for helping us improve the platform. At the moment, implementing a device verification mechanism would require a significant amount of development effort. In addition, our Compliance Team already has a well-established set of methods to review tester accounts for potential multiple accounts or non-existent devices. Because of this, introducing device verification at this moment may not provide substantial additional benefits. However, we truly value your idea and have not ruled it out. It is something we may revisit in the future as our needs and resources evolve. Thank you again for your suggestion. We greatly appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing more of your ideas.
