  • The only issue is your phone collecting location data and then relaying it to somewhere in the internet.

    The privacy risk is when things have location access AND internet access.

    I’m fairly certain my phone is not accessing my location unless I ask it to (I have GrapheneOS). But it’s absolutely pinging my location when I open a map or upload a photo to the internet. I do those things sparingly.


  • The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.

    I created a “Do not disturb” profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that’s just my preference.

    In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don’t care about the rest.
