  • No, they don’t have the same privileges as root permissions. this is easily demonstrated by the camera app built into LineageOS when you enable ignore mode for camera in App Ops and it crashes. and google services also start making very untypical requests for access to stuff.

    Yes, but there aren’t many apps that respect privacy on my phone compared to the usual ones).





  • I’ve been using microG for about a year, but there have been problems here and there with games and apps. and accordingly, I realize how many apps need Google services (especially notifications). so for now, through Root rights and App Ops, I’ve just restricted Google services access to the camera/microphone etc. this is an acceptable compromise for me.






  • “Signal only uses FCM to wake up the Android app if there are new messages waiting on the Signal server and the app isn’t connected to it. Signal does not include any information in these notifications, encrypted or otherwise, so Google can only infer that your device has something queued on Signal’s servers.” I was wondering if a similar system has been implemented in telegram?
