Facebook Detect ADB Automation on a Real Android Device

I want create an ai agent to manage facebook groups for me I have a Motorola Moto G5 phone that I bought for other automations and I plan to use it for this. I’m looking for the safest way in 2026 to run scripts on it. Ideally, I’d like to connect the phone to a computer-use agent and run some workflows for around two hours a day to automate outreach.

I did some research and ADB seems to be the best option aside from using a physical machine to operate the phone which I’m not really planning to do.

I was wondering if for a single account Android device using ADB automation can Facebook detect that the phone is being automated through signals other than behavioral analysis?

I come from a scraping background, so I’m familiar with the whole user agents, headless vs. headful browsers, CDP detection methods so i'm quite skeptical and there isn't a whole lot of info out there on android.
I’m curious whether ADB automation on Android generally looks like normal device interaction or instead has similarly obvious fingerprints that an app can detect and whether safer ways to use an external automation script to facebook via a physical android phone exist.

uiautomator2 to be specific. It's an opensource engine built on top of adb.

You can use app cloning to hide adb & enabled developer options. But adb touch events themselves are not distinguishable from normal touches (from apps' perspective). Theoretically they can figure out – too "linear" gestures, but in fact such flags are too minor compared to IP and behavior patterns.

What do you mean with app cloning? Do I need it if I have a physical android?
