Outlook is my only offender... Kinda out of luck there.

    What about using web version? Are there any limitations compared to the app?

    I'm not sure but isn't there a notification permission for the site on browser?

    Firefox does but I also am using a more private version so it doesn't have google FCM push so it'd drain battery more and poll slower and generally I'll need to see notifications ASAP when I enable it. Most of the time I don't let outlook run though.

    6 pages of apps... nice. 😅

    Now, seriously. Android 14 on a Samsung phone, lets me select "location: only while using the app". I close apps when not using them, and limit notifications so they don't get auto-started at random. Unused app detection, puts them in "deep sleep" which doesn't allow them to run at all, and strips them of all permissions.

    This scanner, would be more useful if it also checked which apps have the location permission enabled, and are frequently used.

    Needs some more cooking. Boots into a white page with nothing on it for me.

    Yahoo Mail (don't judge me) and Viber are the only ones that I still need to use, but don't see why they'd need the location permission. If I deny location permission to those apps, will that stop the leaking?

    My... Guess is that it's still another data point attaching your IP to you. I haven't really dug into how true that would be, but there is def fingerprinting stuff that could be shared without location permission. I.e. just a web request gives them your phones ip. Now that might be your cellphone wan ip, That might be your home ip etc... still identifying info.

    Imo this isn't so much about tracking your literal location (though, that too) but also in tracking you across websites without permission.

    Podcast Addict, bummer I use that daily. Any way to block the leak without ditching the app?

    Man, I had no idea Tumblr was on the Gravy list. Great app!

    If you navigate to Tumblr on firefox or chrome, there will be an option to add it to your home screen and when you launch it from there it behaves just like the app would except without tracking and your privacy-focused browser addons will work, including ublock.

    Had no idea Textra was on here. I guess back to stock graphene OS messenger.

    I'd suggest qksms instead. Moved to it from textra and works very well.

    Long unmaintained, use QUIK instead which is a successor

    One single app: some random pizza making game I installed because I saw someone playing it in school. None in the work profile, suprisingly

  • Blank white screen on the personal profile (woot).

    Outlook only on the work profile (only has notification access and nothing else). I'm actually surprised Teams isn't on that list, but ok.
