I am not sure how people are figuring this out now. It's only common sense given googles business model and their history that your android phone is nothing more than a tracking and data generation device. I am sure Apple has it's flaws but Google uses Android to double down on selling your info.
Be smart, pick up an old Blackberry 10 device and use its Android emulator.
- slothtrop 8y agoHow do you feel about the android-based blackberrys?
- JimGuns 8y agoI heard they are pretty good and are a bit more secure, but the underlying system is still android.
- archi42 8y agoThe problem is not Google itself, the problem are the Google Services coming with every phone (often plus two Facebook Apps, plus Instagram, plus some manufacturer specific stuff - mine was spamming me once a month with "Why don't you buy a new theme for HTC Sense"). As mentioned by me & others, you can replace those with MicroG, though YMMV.
- pokemongoaway 8y agoThere's also CopperheadOS. If only we could get more hardware support :)
