To be clear I said “using F-Droid for all apps”.

You could do a MiTM with a https proxy and look at wireshark to see what it sends.

Surely a professional must have looked into this by now?

Also I don’t see how Google can’t read Signal messages if they have full unstoppable access to everything? If the user can read it, surely Google can too?

Thank you! Location and search history are particularly troubling especially when a user is not even using Google to search. Can Google still see contacts if not using their contacts app?

Let’s say the user is taking no other precautions. What information is being shared to Google with stock android?

Whether you need to have the absolute highest level of protection against Google is really something only you can determine.

Yes that’s what I’m trying to determine lol but I haven’t been able to know what it is Google has the power to do with stock android.

Thank you for the link to the article!

Understood (I think) so just to be clear, you are saying Google has the power to collet:

• All signal Messages
• Device Location at all times
• Anything displayed on the screen
• Audio around device (microphone) at all times
• All files on the device

Is that accurate?
