Wifi and Bluetooth must be kept off unless in use.

If you are home on wifi, put your cell into air plane mode.

Don't run shady apps.

TC app shows you what trackers each app has. Rmeove shit you don't need, use browser

I have a Continuous Glucose Monitor that communicates with my phon3, so I sadly need to always have Bluetooth on.

    It communicates constantly with my phone so I always know my blood sugar. I can see a graph of the last 24 hours in 5-minute increments.

    I get that and it should be on. If it can be off, that can reduce tracking
