If you are rooted and the app doesn't need any gapps, try hide prop config magisk module. (Some apps have fallbacks for gapps built in like Uber has OSM as fallback for gmaps in India atleast)
At this point I just assume Meta, Google and Apple have my number due to people storing the number on their devices. Amazon also might have it because people might have paid me via Amazon Pay (and given it access to contacts).
Yes. I don't endorse WhatsApp. What I meant is if you chat with 15 people out of which 5 use WhatsApp, only those 5 chats are potentially readable by Meta. Because those are the only chats which will get sent to Meta servers.
So you have the benefit that the other 10 chats are not readable by Meta.
Lmao my bad. Thanks I'll read up about it.
Google has also kept RCS proprietary. Google shares the blame as well imo
True. However there are certain advantages
- WhatsApp gets only a part of your data (coz many people might be on different apps)
- You don't have to run WhatsApp on your device so they can't collect that data either
I know it's not perfect but better than the current scenario and a step in the right direction
Oh wow. TIL! Any recommendws sources? I want to read the full coverage
I only heard of it because I follow Matrix blog.
I saw the technical discussions (if you are a tech person I would recommend watching those on YT) and it seems that EU is trying to find some middle ground where companies won't have to incur a lot of losses but still be open and create a fair environment for newcomers.
Why was it allowed in the first place? Generally I'm pro freedom but in this case the phones should be locked down and there should be a whitelist of apps they can install. It's not a personal phone.
You could say Russian landing was more impactful and groundbreaking
