Anybody got recommendations on cases or other solutions to mitigate this?
grapheneOS for pixel phones
It turn off the mics when not in use?
It does.
How do you know this for sure?
You can toggle mic off through quick tiles to be sure it's off. Same as location, Bluetooth etc.
Tbh I don't believe at all that phones record you, they leak enough info in every other way that they don't need to spy on your conversions.
grapheneOS has a metric shittonne of features that allow much better seperation between apps, sandboxes all Google services so you can control it's permissions (or not use/install them) and much more
You can leak a lot less data with it, not using/installing google services, using PWA/webpage shortcuts instead of apps, focusing on using FOSS software over proprietary, etc
How do you know for sure though. Couldn’t they override the code? I’d be interested in a hardware solution.
I recently installed /e/OS on my phone. It's based on Lineage OS, which is based on AOSP.
Battery lasts a week in sparse use.
Its main feature is privacy. Tracker blocker pictured:
Unfortunately I have an iPhone and don’t really want to switch to another OS. I guess I don’t worry about my privacy enough to make the switch. Any iOS solutions?
