The Problem
Currently, when searching for devices to share files, the device list updates dynamically. New devices appear one by one, which often causes the UI elements to shift.
I have frequently encountered a situation where I intend to click on my own device, but a new device is discovered at that exact moment, pushing my device's icon away. As a result, I accidentally click on a stranger's device and send the file before I can react. This is a potential privacy risk and a UI/UX issue.
The Proposal
I suggest adding a Whitelist / Trusted Devices feature to improve security and prevent misclicks:
Whitelist: Users can mark their own or frequently used devices as "Trusted."
Confirmation Warning: If a user clicks on a device that is NOT in the whitelist, a confirmation pop-up should appear (e.g., "Are you sure you want to send this file to [Device Name]?").
Why this is helpful
Prevent Misdelivery: Stops files from being sent to the wrong person due to UI jumping.
Enhanced Privacy: Adds a layer of protection when using the app in public places with many active devices.
