I’m new to Android and was gifted a Razr Ultra. Apart from deleting Google apps and using alternate app stores, are these other things I can do to make the phone more privacy respecting? I’m coming from iPhone and I know Apple isn’t the best, but being on Android/Google makes me concerned about privacy.
As I understand it, GrapheneOS is not an option, and I didn’t see the phone on LineageOS device list.
Any ideas? What would you do (besides selling it for a Pixel to install Graphene lol)?
IMO anything you do will be futile so long as Google has essentially root access to your system.
But you can start by deleting your advertising ID and disabling any tracking you can from your Google account itself. You’ll probably want to look up a guide, as they can be well-hidden.
Thanks! Def going to disable play services and other Google options
You literally can’t.
