- lern_too_spel 4y agoIndeed, you can opt out of more of it on Android than you can on iOS. Try to get your location on iOS without telling Apple. You can't. Try installing an app without telling Apple. Same. Even MacOS is infected with this privacy invading nonsense that I can't opt out of. It has an Apple News app that I can't uninstall, and whenever anybody sends an Apple News link, even in a private tab, it opens the Apple News app, a handler that I can't disable, sending the article I want to read together with my Apple ID to Apple.
