Will Google know where I am if I turn off every tracking shit I can turn off?
Perhaps not, but your mobile carrier will! I use a Pixel 5 with LineageOS installed (and no google services), but I also needed to install Google Docs for a project (since the web interface refuses to load on Android) which means that Google is still able to access my IP address–but I think that’s better than Google’s “location history”, or Play Protect on Android sending a list of all installed apps
Mobile carrier I (although it’s against my will) have less problem. Thanks for your input!
Who’s your carrier? I’ve been considering a switch to lineage or graphene but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet
