Everyone knows all the apps on your phone

Until a few years ago, any app you installed on an Android device could see all other apps on your phone without your permission.

    Well that was a horrifying read. Is there any software that can protect against this? GrapheneOS? LineageOS? A Magisk module?

      Separate profiles, although graphene is supposedly working on it last I heard.

      Island, Insular, Shelter; apps that allow managing separate profiles.

      My setup: mostly Open Source apps on a custom ROM like LineageOS, the neccessary proprietary apps in shelter, connections managed via,Tracker Control. That one proprietary app that’s too useful to have separate is fixed via App Manager.
