Similar question: Android smart watches only connect to one phone. I like receiving silent notifications on my watch from my android phone. However I also have an Apple phone for work and would like a ring or some other small wearable (not a second watch) to receive notifications from my Apple phone.
I think Graphene OS was commenting about them on Twitter. I’ll see if I can find the posts.
First quick check of the app with classysharkExodus shows the following trackers built in:
- Google AdMob - “AdMob makes earning revenue easy with in-app ads, actionable insights, and powerful, easy-to-use tools that grow your app business”
- Google Firebase Analytics - This logs user language preference and user location
As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.
We need an online guide, based on make and model, on how to disable the transmission of this data.
“helped” is very misleading. Companies can’t refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.
