| here is my take. currently there are all microsoft-y nudge user till they allow then say "user accepted"...
case in point.
i have a moto phone that has stock android. very nice.
it has default sms as "messages". this app keeps nudging me to use "chat features" and other bs so the "dont use connected features" line is really small while accept is a big button. they dont want me to not accept so they keep pushing me. same for "play protect". i have decided to not accept it so every often i install an app it asks me if i want to enable it. same for "enable location". i keep my location off so when i have to use an app, i turn it on and i get a message "for better experience, tun on device location which uses google location service". so if i accept this, "google location accuracy" and "emergency location service" and even wifi scanning (sometimes) gets enabled so these are really scummy techniques. i use F-droid as my default app store and aurora store to download apps not on f-droid.
haven't signed in to play store because i don't have a google account. these "keep nudging till the user accepts" should be banned as well. if the user does not want to allow location accuracy, don't auto enable it. |
