frongt@lemmy.zip 2 days agoI had to fiddle with some stuff to get the Google location history and Android Auto working. But if you’re using it for privacy-from-Google purposes you probably don’t care about those.

Look, there always will be obstacles. Do you have any other carrier option? If yes- change it and tell them why, if not- you’re already fucked and I wouldn’t comply when it’s already that bad. Nothing’s going to get better when doing nothing. My bank wanted to store a picture of my face on their servers to continue using their service so I changed my bank. You need to not be lazy.

Correct, I am not using GrapheneOS to then give my data to Google willingly. Kinda defeats the purpose I would say. It is the right thing that this is blocked by default and you have to actively turn it on.

No one enables it to “give Google data”, they use it to get apps to work that use it as a dependency.
RCS is neither.

Well yes of course, but you are still giving away your data, regardless of intention. And a privacy feature of GrapheneOS is that it redirects location data requests to the OS by default. Thats why you have to disable it in the settings if you want Google to have this data.
AFAIK it is specifically meant as a replacement for SMS and is used with regular pre-installed SMS Apps.

Nope
Only works with 3 proprietary apps, that I’m aware of. Google and Samsung Messages and iMessage.
