    Too link; didn’t click (you should though): The accelerometer data in our electronics can be used to map us out like we’re a Roomba vacuum cleaner, among other things.

      So can your IMEI, with leaking apps and push notifications our phones are essentially digital snitches in our pockets.

        Since Android 10 only System Apps can read critical Device Identifiers.

        Use an Android Distro with as little of them as possible, for example GrapheneOS.

        Turn on Airplane mode and at least on a trustworthy OS the phone will be as if it had no such antenna
