How tf would a phone even have a way to provide that data to an app? Anyone know how exactly this works?

    Apple and Android already have them, unless you didn't fill it in.

    I don't think my phone ever asked me about health data or religion. That's why I find this so confusing.

    Health data would be sourced from your fitness apps mostly. Many phones already have one built in(Fit with Google). Sleep trackers as well. Religion would be found on dating apps.

    Not saying they specifically will use those to get your info, but you said you never told you phone those things, so I'm just suggesting some ways you actually did.
