https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/Privacy-Location-pinging-in-background/m-p/2227417#M10828 Thanks I'll double check google play services on my phone. I might have done something to some degree about this already though. I did an initial run through of settings based on battery life, but not really privacy when I first got the phone.<BR /><BR />I figured not letting everything access my microphone/gps/etc would save my battery life because I don't charge my phone so google et al can run whatever they want on my phone.<BR /><BR />I noticed when I finished most of samsung's settings, there was a button in settings that linked to a google account and I basically had to revoke all the same permissions again but in a weird google/native settings page. I think one even had weird wording trying to make me accidently confirm cancel instead of confirm accept. No one was making me shoot myself in the foot in terms of battery that day though and I caught it.<BR /><BR />I'll look at those custom OS things later but if I can't put it on my new Samsung phone I probably won't consider it for a few years.
