Preventing Google from getting your information? Anonymous 2017-07-24 04:15:00 Post No. 61540166 [Report]

Google Play services and some of its associated apps, such as Google Maps, constantly track your every move, and have access to your contacts, camera, location, microphone, phone, and pretty much everything else by default.

Is rooting one's phone the only way to get rid of all of Google's applications? Is there a way to maintain Google's stuff but prevent it from acquiring your information? Maybe some sort of app that blocks stuff?

It sucks 'cause I love Android, and I like Samsung's phones due to their camera quality and other aspects, but the problem with all of that is that Google's always embedded into everything.

What are some alternatives that some of you guys know of/have found/have considered?

having something to hide and wanting privacy are not mutual requirements. I don't have anything to hide, but I don't have anything i want to show to the whole world either.

I installed Cyanogenmod and didn't install Google Apps.

Google maps through Web browser just tracks locations, doesn't sync to account (Google.com/locationhistory doesn't show it)

No Google Apps can be kinda annoying bc some apps like Runkeeper, snapchat, etc depend on them. But your life is fine when u live without it.

Most any service you need can be done through a browser on a phone (venmo, etc)

Why do you lock your door(s)? Why do you have walls? Do you have something to hide?

What do you have that jewgle would ever want to steal from you? That's like freaking out that your apartment complex has a copy of your key.
