- notRobot 6y agoUnfortunately Privacy Guard is no longer a thing with LOS17 :(
- qart 6y agoAh. News to me. My device is still on LOS15. I also use https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android to monitor apps.

- bitcharmer 6y agoDo you know the reason behind it? Was it replaced by something else?
- lavios 6y agoXprivacyLua works fine as a replacement but it requires Xposed Framework.
- cookiengineer 6y agoBut hasn't this gotten very similar to the upstream AOSP 10 app settings? I know they are somewhat hidden, but you can change a lot about an App's behaviour and even fake location data for a specific App. I didn't use Lineage with Privacy Guard (too old or too new devices)... so what's the TLDR on the featureset that's missing? Might be worth creating an alternative for 10+ if there isn't any.
- redisman 6y agoHow does it otherwise compare to Android or iPhone?
- qart 6y agoLineageOS is Android. The usual Google Play store is available on it (after installation of gapps). Apparently Privacy Guard is gone in the latest LineageOS. If you're on Android, give this a try: https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android
- arbol 6y agoMy 5yr old phone is apparently compatible but I found lineage essentially didn't work with it. Had to revert to vendor Android. I will try again when I get a new phone though.
