You just paid money for pushing your personal data to Google.
I use clear Android-x86 VM with wiped Google Services for this, maybe several times for year.
- beagle3 7y agoNot connected to google, WhatsApp sideloaded (though cannot guarantee google doesn’t get a copy...). The only data on this phone are contacts who have contacted me on WhatsApp; it has about 50 contacts compared to my main phone that has an order of magnitude more, and which ttbomk no FANG has access to or a copy of; the war is lost though, because every message/call has at least one more party and almost all of them do give all that info away to google, Facebook and Microsoft (giving Skype access to contacts) Alas, where I live, NOT using WhatsApp would put me at a much worse disadvantage than the $80 I paid.
