I got rid off of my mobile phone. No old-ass cellphone, no smartphone,
no Android device. Only normal desktop and laptop computers with Debian.

I started smaller. No Facebook, Instagram or TikTok has ever made it on to
my phone.

What steps do you perform on your phone expressly for privacy purposes?

What steps do you perform on your phone expressly for privacy purposes?

Offhand, here are some of the steps I do that are privacy based in nature:
1. I turn off the location until/unless I need it
2. I turn off the "precise location" (which is a big privacy hole)
3. I turn off, by default, all unused radios (bluetooth, nfc, etc.)
4. I turn on a system-wide firewall to not allow unauthorized connections
5. I replace mothership tracking apps with privacy aware FOSS replacements
6. I don't sign into any mothership on the device
7. I don't allow any app permissions it doesn't need
8. I don't allow an app to store anything it doesn't need (e.g., cookies)
9. I don't install any app requiring an account it doesn't need
10. I used to reset the advertising id but now I delete it entirely
11. I set my Wi-Fi AP to not broadcast (not for security but for privacy)
12. I set the AP to "_nomap" (again, only for additional Internet privacy)
13. I set AP SSID/passwd as unique as possible (butterfly hash tables)
14. I set the phone to randomize the MAC address per SSID
15. I set the phone to randomize the MAC address per CONNECTION
16. I set the phone Wi-Fi to NOT auto-reconnect when the signal is dropped

What additional privacy based steps do you do that can edify us all?

Drat. Scratch iOS newsgroup. That was intended for Android, not iOS.
(You can't do most of those privacy things on iOS, unfortunately for us.)

For example, Android works fine w/o a mothership tracking account while
it's much more difficult to set up a functional iOS device without the
Apple mothership tracking account tracking every moment of every day of
your life.

Will resend to the corrected ng list.
Please do not respond to this thread.

Apologies.
Thanks.
