theres a bunch of customizastion apps (icon packs, launchers etc.) that look really cool but lowkey collect my data, but if I just turn off the apps network permissons (app info, mobile data usage, and then set allow network access to off) do I still need to worry about data collection? thank

      They’d need permission and even then most attacks would need to be impractical. It’s something to keep in mind but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
