" your iPhone will send location data in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple" would want to know how exactly this is done. There is no proven way of anonymizing location data that I know of.

"By enabling Location Services, location-based system services such as these will also be enabled: Routing and Traffic: While you are in transit (for example, walking or driving), your iPhone will periodically send GPS data, travel speed, and barometric pressure information in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple, to be used for augmenting crowd-sourced road traffic and atmospheric correction databases. Additionally, when you open an app near a point of interest (for example, a business or park) your iPhone will send location data in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple which Apple may aggregate and use to let users know if that point of interest is open and how busy it is." I actually emailed Apple privacy about this, and asked if there is anyway to opt out of the above settings, as it does not appear to be the case.

I then went on to create multiple profiles, perhaps 4-5, and with each one, the app that would be "installed" from the main user profile was my vpn and bitwarden. After that, I was able to create the pseudonymous accounts (and I used bitwarden to create a password for each account). I would also randomly pick random names and ages and gender! (also glad that I'm ditching my iphone).

2023-02-11 01:44:03 +0000 UTCThis is excellent. Congratulations! How difficult/easy did you find this process? Your question could actually be a good podcast episode. In short, on GrapheneOS, all apps are isolated in the same sandbox. On stock Android/iOS, there are certain privileged permissions reserved to OEM apps. On stock Android, Google would see your hardware IDs, but on GrapheneOS it would agnostic. Google will not have access to your contacts, sensors, files, location, mic/cam, etc. unless you specifically grant those permissions. So installing Google Play services on GrapheneOS does not negatively impact your privacy. The only major limitations are Google's access the list of apps installed on your profile and your IP address. Any app you install can have access to your app list if that permission is declared in the manifest. So it's not exclusive to Google. And you can obfuscate your IP address with a VPN.

2023-02-09 13:22:14 +0000 UTCI was able to create on my GrapheneOS device an anonymous google play store account via the methods you recommended, but used proton vpn apk. I’m just concerned that on my phone I have google play store running, with a fake account, and so what data is google collecting on me. I guess the bigger question does installing google play store on GrapheneOS severely affect your privacy?

2023-02-08 16:55:22 +0000 UTCThanks for the good Episode! I have a question about your content. English isn't my native language so sometimes I don't get the right context or things like that. Is it possible that automatically create something like a transcript text / file? or is that too much effort? Thank u in advance!
