Tracking in Messages

Hi there!

Since when Facebook, that nasty pre-installed bloatware app, the one that I disabled and remove access to everything, still able to send some data?!

This is duckduckgo app tracker. Highly recommending it

It says "attempts", not that FB was necessarily successful. 

I don't Use that app myself. 

You could use an app like AppOps where you can disable everything for system apps. Just need to be careful with it. 

[rescuerEvp]

It says attempts because it was blocked, obviously 🙈

[RedDogRabbit]

Yes, that's how I read it as well 👍🏻

There are methods where you can prevent the attempts as well. ie: Disabling FB services etc.

I had all the possible features and apps, that thing is the most disabled "app" on my phone. While it still uses "back doors" in bloatware to sneak around. Samsung has to do better, otherwise they are just like google

[RedDogRabbit]

If you use an app like AdHell3, or other package disabler, or AppOps you can disable EVERYTHING. 

You could also use adb to disable what you need / want to.

I'll try to check Adhell3, had it before, but uninstalled. appops also not clean lol

I don't know about the accuracy of the Duckduckgo app.

AppOps only has one permission, and that is for Shizuku. 

AppOps does not have any access to location, or anything else.

Crash logs are optional & can be disabled, same with Device I.D.

Duckduckgo, does however collect data, although they say that they don't share the data with 3rd parties.

Same applies to AppOps, collecting, but don't sharing.
Being testing duckduckgo for a while now
