According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.
From F-Droid:
Exodus (Exodus show you trackers and permissions in apps installed on your device.) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy/
But that’s one less app and there are great alternatives, so why continue using one that tracks you?
I have bought the premium version because it was really cheap so no it doesn’t track me
You do you, most goes with what’s free and there are plenty of good free options available.
Ads are a bad way of funding the development, especially for Lemmy, a place where a lot of people are increasingly privacy-minded.
couldn’t agree more! that’s why I bought the premium version
sure, hope you enjoy your free apps while they last
Use this app to make sure. It installs a local VPN to check connections, needs no root.
Because it doesn’t?
It does. Check the privacy policy, 6 mentions of trackers as well as opting out of the trackers.
