      Using Google products has always been a “privacy nightmare” - it’s not like this is some mega open source phone or anything it’s literally Google’s flagship. Is this really surprising? Playing with fire gets you burned.

        Googles phones are the easiest to de-google surprisingly

          And if you do, they won’t upload your stuff to the cloud anymore.
          But if you use Google’s OS and services, you really shouldn’t be surprised they upload your data to Google.

            Wait - is that praise or criticism?

      In what way ? Everything you do on phone Google has access to and therefore any govt body as well.

      Privacy on a phone is a myth unless you use a modded phone
