It definitely helps--the vast majority of snooping comes from Google Play Services, so options like GrapheneOS + microG or CalyxOS resolve that issue quite nicely. They also have app-specific firewall abilities, so you can disable background or foreground network connectivity on any app you're suspicious of.
- dont__panic 5y agoThanks! I'm still using an old iPhone SE (2016) as my daily driver, but sooner or later iOS support is going to drop and I'll have to find a decent upgrade path. Considering my size, headphone jack, and fingerprint reader preferences, I think the Pixel 4a is the only device that seems viable to me on the market today... hopefully I'll still be able to pick one up in a year or two and slap GrapheneOS on it.
