🚨 noyb has filed complaints against #TikTok and #Grindr. As it turns out, TikTok even tracks you while you're using other apps. For example, TikTok was able to track a person’s Grindr usage - which allows it to draw conclusions about his sexual orientation and sex life

On Android:

Step 1 (optional, as I believe this is possible on Stock from Android 11 onwards): install GrapheneOS
Step 2 create different profiles
Step 3 use "install available apps" in the profile settings to use apps installed in the Owner profile
Step 4 disable the app in the Owner profile

Step 0: make sure you own the one and only supported device: Pixel from Google (https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support). That's a bit of a roadblock. (Yes, I know why is that, I'm just pointing out the sad state of reality)

@etam @noybeu that's why I pointed out it is most probably possible on other Android phones as well

Anyway, I am running it fine on a Pixel 6a which I believe is very affordable as a used device.

@fabriziob
Unfortunately most probably not. See any reply by @GrapheneOS . They describe the situation quite thoroughly.

@etam @GrapheneOS @noybeu What probably not?
I said that this is possible on other Android phones, which is true.

And that a Pixel 6a like mine you can buy used affordably, which is also true.

You may have misunderstood me saying that sideloading GrapheneOS will be possible on devices in the future, but I was just referring to the method described right in the steps right after.

What is not true on AOSP in general is the use of Scoped Storage.
