Seems like banning all advertising would end all this stupidity. Seems like Google Android is following iOS’s lead…
Jesus. They keep adding more that default to “on,” and bury the settings deeper each time. It’s absurd.
I literally got a notification that took me to this menu. They aren’t trying to hide it
I didn’t. I only found out about it through this post.
I also had to dig down two menus deep past the config search results. Looks pretty hidden to me.
I didn’t either. Found it four pages deep. under “other privacy settings”, nonchalantly placed at the bottom of the last page. And i just did a search for that kind of thing two weeks ago and somehow missed it.
Thanks just turned that crap off. I wanted to try out graphene but my pixel is carrier locked… next phone I’m gonna get will be specifically for a foss solution.
Wow insane that carriers have the power to affect that
In Canada that wouldn’t be an issue
In the US you’re just potential profit in every single aspect of your life. 😮💨
it kills me. There are some products I like such as Android Auto/Maps/Waze but then they do this and it pisses me off.
on top of that I use Google Fi which works great in my area . . . I’m just screwed . .
This is the same thing as in chrome
Yet another reason not to use Chrome
The world deserve gnu/linux mobile even faster.
Thank you for the screenshot! I had no idea this had been stuck in there. Thankfully it was sent to off for whatever reason.
This is all avoided if you just use GrapheneOS.
How our future will look. I know most people will go about they’re lives ignorant to this bs but by agreeing to this shit your inadvertently fucking us all. I hope more people look to custom ROMs and disagree to marketing bs and generally living with more awareness of the actions they take and how it’ll effect our future
