81·2 年前Source for your claim? Otherwise it’s fud
I am not making any definite claims. I am just wondering whether or not the reasoning in the question makes sense. If it does not, please tell me why the reasoning is wrong. Thank you.

16·2 年前When ZipoApps adds advertisements and telemetry to a future version of the Simple Mobile Tools apps, will my Google-Play-installed apps be automatically updated to the newer version with ads and telemetry? I don’t want ZipoApps to get any of my data.

If you did not enable end-to-end encryption for your WhatsApp backups on Google Drive, the US government could possibly compel Google to hand over your encrypted (but not end-to-end encrypted) backup, and compel Meta to hand over the decryption keys for the backup.

Thank you for the feedback. I have added additional information to the original post. I hope that the additional information answers all your questions.

Android@lemmy.ml•App for automatically switching on/off mobile data and Wi-Fi based on location
32·2 年前WiFi and mobile data are activated all the time.
In our case, there are several problems with activating both WiFi and mobile data all the time:
- At home, if the WiFi is out of range, switched off, or temporarily out of service, Android would start to consume mobile data. This is highly relevant because, at her home, WiFi is unavailable from night time till early morning to enforce self-discipline.
- Outside home, there is no need for WiFi. Why should it be switched on when it will never be used outside home? It would just be a battery drain.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Geometric Weather: a light and powerful weather app (iOS/Mac and Android) that provides you with real-time temperature, air quality, 15-days weather forecast, etcEnglish
5·3 年前What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?
Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.
