Most Android smartphones are configured by default to send as much information as possible about devices and their owners to Google servers: from sessions using the gadget to data about its location. To reduce the amount of information sent, you can use Google’s Android alternatives, in which most of the system services that “spy” on users are cut off. About this “socialbites.ca” said Head of T.Hunter Investigation Department Igor Bederov.

Information collected by system services is often used by companies to show users ads that are most relevant to them. You can limit data sending to Google by using an alternative operating system. One of the most popular options is the “pure” Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which does not include many Google services. There are other alternatives. These include Ubuntu Touch, Kali NetHunter, GrapheneOS and more.

“Alternative operating systems focus on greater privacy and security for their users. This means they store less user data and it is much more difficult to query that data.
Bederov stated that some projects, such as GrapheneOS, were made specifically to increase user privacy.
