It’s probably because of the bubble I live in, but I most of these apps.
Same here, i hadn’t even heard of Swiggy or Ola or TATA 1mg.
Btw, there was Island on a list there.
Seeing people say “GrapheneOS fixes this!” “It’s only on old versions of Android!”
This is on a Pixel 8 Pro with the latest version of GrapheneOS. This is an issue and has been for a long time. Many apps detect root by looking for the Magisk package using this method, and many collect this information just for advertising (go ahead, export your Snapchat data)
I know apple products are mortal sin on this site, but I’m thankful I switched to iOS a decade ago. I loved my Android phones but I’ll never be assed to do CFW again, and since I don’t use my phone for much, I honestly appreciate the walled garden. Fuck apps. Messaging and basic browsing = phone. Anything else is for Big Screen.
Great. Now instead of Google, Apple collects your data :)
At least

THAT doesn’t happen
Well that was a horrifying read. Is there any software that can protect against this? GrapheneOS? LineageOS? A Magisk module?
Island, Insular, Shelter; apps that allow managing separate profiles.
My setup: mostly Open Source apps on a custom ROM like LineageOS, the neccessary proprietary apps in shelter, connections managed via,Tracker Control. That one proprietary app that’s too useful to have separate is fixed via App Manager.
