Hi @Pouyamardan and thank you for posting this.

  1. It is a built-in feature designed to provide clarity and security by indicating that the transaction or action is being initiated from the current device you’re using.

  2. I’m not sure the exact time/version this was added, but if you want to you can check the releases and check: extension Releases · MetaMask/metamask-extension · GitHub and mobile Releases · MetaMask/metamask-mobile · GitHub

  3. Regarding the lack of information/ clarity on it thank you very much for raising this, I’ll pass this feedback to the team.

  4. You cannot turn this feature off.

  5. The “FROM THIS DEVICE” label in MetaMask identifies transactions or actions initiated from the device you’re currently using. It helps distinguish between activity originating from your device versus external sources or other accounts. This label is tied to the specific MetaMask instance on your device, ensuring clarity about where the transaction is being authorized. It’s a security feature that provides transparency, especially when managing multiple accounts or devices.

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask them here, thank you :grinning_face: :coffee:
