App info --> data usage

also criminals they use WhatsApp you know :D

Thanks for the explanation. I’d be so anxious if we can’t even trust open source.

same for other ROMs

Graphene brings to the take is that you don’t need root for that.

this isn’t correct, on LineageOS you can do that without root

it’s not

Not just other ROMs they shittalk F-Droid, Firefox, and even Linux: https://lemmy.zip/post/59060122

why you need Google Account?

it may ask for phone number

Exactly it need a real data point to deanonymise you but you know many people has that data point

@dessalines@lemmy.ml I’m not a developer could you explain this?

The server operators, or anyone who gets that data, can see a map of who is talking to whom.

Trust me bro

Yeah, this is the viable security model.

I’m not a developer, but if the client and server code is open (AGPLv3), you can definitely know what they do or store.

you can never validate what code a server is running

Really? if so how can we trust Lemmy?

Isn’t it reproducible?

You think we’re living in an ideal world, but we’re not. Most of our family and friends use WhatsApp and other big tech messaging apps. You make valid points, but they’re just a dream if messaging means people and if there aren’t people, it’s not messaging.

Isn’t Telegram is a Social Media?

This is exactly what’s wrong with social media platforms and I don’t want to use anything like that.

That’a trading freedom for “convenience”
