Jesus. They keep adding more that default to "on," and bury the settings deeper each time. It's absurd.

I literally got a notification that took me to this menu. They aren't trying to hide it

I didn't. I only found out about it through this post.

I also had to dig down two menus deep past the config search results. Looks pretty hidden to me.

I didn't either. Found it four pages deep. under "other privacy settings", nonchalantly placed at the bottom of the last page. And i just did a search for that kind of thing two weeks ago and somehow missed it.

Wow insane that carriers have the power to affect that

In Canada that wouldn't be an issue

it kills me. There are some products I like such as Android Auto/Maps/Waze but then they do this and it pisses me off.

How our future will look. I know most people will go about they're lives ignorant to this bs but by agreeing to this shit your inadvertently fucking us all. I hope more people look to custom ROMs and disagree to marketing bs and generally living with more awareness of the actions they take and how it'll effect our future

This is all avoided if you just use GrapheneOS.

Thank you for the screenshot! I had no idea this had been stuck in there. Thankfully it was sent to off for whatever reason.
