Hi. I just got a new phone (Motorola) and spent a bunch of time manually removing access to location etc. I hate Google so much, “don’t do evil” my ass. I’m just looking for my blindspots. Im not in tech so, what should be disabled to keep my phone private?

      It is not. It is better than bloated Google Android but not “great”.

      • They use tracking ids for updates
      • They are far behind with updates lowering security and thus risking privacy
      • They use testing keys which is ridicolous
      • They added OpenAI integration and called it “Murena Voice to Text” so that unfiliar users could unintentially leak sensitive data
      • They ignore valid critique and call it ‘personal harassment’ although nothing personal nor something like harassment happen there (for example in related /e/OS threads)
