| LOL no. Try using Google Maps logged out on an Android phone for more than a week. Google will find a way to reconnect you to the default Google account on the device. An even better test: - get an Android device (say, a OnePlus 6T) - create some contacts on the phone, and add a few events in the default calendar - open the Play Store (required to get many of the most popular apps) - you're required to logged into a Google account - log in and try to not have your contacts and calendar events uploaded to Google's servers. That is not possible, because 1. you must be connected to the Internet in order to log into a Google account (obvious) 2. Google does not let you enable or disable the sync for a particular item before starting uploading everything 3. Google will enable the sync for all possible items (starting w/ contacts) in the background, and you cannot switch screens fast enough to prevent that. This must have been the default for most Android devices for a decade now. They keep collecting billions contacts details without users' explicit consent, which is 100% illegal. |
Things like this are why I tolerate all the bugs on the pinephone.
