Hi! Android phone here.
- I deactivated notifications for most apps. If necessary, I setup in-app notifications (Discord notifies me about a new personal message, but not about a random post on the "general" channel)
- I don't use the facebook app, but I have a link to facebook.com on my icon screen, browsed firefox
- ublock origin extension for firefox
- if a random notification happens, long click on it allows deactivating the next ones from the same app
- I deactivated incoming email notifications. If I want to read my emails, I open the client. I guess it saves battery too.
- In France we have an app to detect spam or phishing calls. It can event prevent the phone ringing when detected as such.
- dredmorbius 4y agoGoogle Play Services, Google's Advertising ID, tower tracking, full access to contacts, call data, messages, and far more, are all failures and weaknesses of the present smartphone (including Android) environment. At its core is the mobile phone data network itself, which provides sufficiently fine (and largely utilised) location tracking, vox activity, and Internet data usage tracking and association with a single device. The foundation is shit, no golden castle can be constructed on it.
