I occasionally set up notifications when apps make requests using NetGuard and let it run for a day. The result is always depressing, lots of apps phoning home that I haven't opened in days... I let it run today, and the worst offenders I have installed are Spotify (various requests to Facebook endpoints, I have no Facebook integration turned on) and Speedtest (constant requests to their logging endpoint and ad partners). This is all happening without me actually using those apps.
