Hi. I just got a new phone (Motorola) and spent a bunch of time manually removing access to location etc. I hate Google so much, “don’t do evil” my ass. I’m just looking for my blindspots. Im not in tech so, what should be disabled to keep my phone private?

    Alternatively, if you want to do the same thing without a USB, try Shizuku and Canta from Fdroid. Shizuku allows mods over WiFi and Canta does almost the same thing as the tool linked above, but it doesn’t seem to have apk descriptions like the desktop debloater tool. It’s just a way to do something similar on your phone. However, iirc the debloater allows more options like saving which apks you deleted or disabled or some such.

      not a fan of shizuku, cause everything after a restart just loses permission
