Well, im sorry then if i come across as smug. OP just post a meme something about seeing ads without any context, i asked about it because i havent seen one, you know, targeted ads, pop up ads and the like.

If i offend you in anyway, well, im sorry.

You know what i mean. Dont be that person.

Nah, like i said i havent seen ads in ages. I dont use google certified devices. 99% of my apps are foss. I doubt that gonna change anytime soon. Honestly, I dont know what youre on about.

Would be helpful if you explain what is happening.

What do you mean? Im out of the loop, I havent seen ads in years.

Fucking grim if i have to choose samsung.

\[T]/ Praise the sun.

Certainly not me but people who in the apple walled garden for sure. You think people who use ios, macos, apple watch etc gonna use android foldable?

I agree. I want it to stay turned off on my phone.

Remember when google track users even airplane mode is on? Pepperidge farm remember.

Fuck google.

Did none of you read the articles. Its for now playing feature. The one that scan music in the background and display on your lockscreen. Before this, it’s just the artist and track name.

Create a private space. Install sandboxed google play in there. Install banking app or any other google play dependant app in private space.

That’s the most reasonable and less hassle method in my opinon. Lock it down when not in use. Cons? no push notification when locked down.
