Google said it was a “problem” to give android users easier to find privacy settings, after users took advantage of them

Posted: 29 May 2021 07:45 AM PDT

https://www.businessinsider.com/unredacted-google-lawsuit-docs-detail-efforts-to-collect-user-location-2021-5

Some bits from the article:

When Google tested versions of its Android operating system that made privacy settings easier to find, users took advantage of them, which Google viewed as a "problem," according to the documents. To solve that problem, Google then sought to bury those settings deeper within the settings menu.

Google also tried to convince smartphone makers to hide location settings "through active misrepresentations and/or concealment, suppression, or omission of facts" — that is, data Google had showing that users were using those settings — "in order to assuage [manufacturers'] privacy concerns."

TIL long pressing play store option in Nova launcher app info pop-up opens apkmirror

Posted: 29 May 2021 07:32 AM PDT

When you long press any app in Nova launcher you see the usual popup with quick actions and edit/info/play store buttons. Well differently holding play store button longer opens apk mirror link with this app. Been using Nova for 8 years and I'm still finding new features sometimes.
