Who said I ever signed into Google?

This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I’ve never activated location services, and I don’t even have a SIM card.

I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.

Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.

Whats the point in having a phone if you don’t do any phone things with it?

There are alternate apps and services that don’t depend on Google. I’m responding from one such service right now.

I’ve also been using the same TextNow number since 2016. You know, VOIP WiFi phone service? I even debugged the TextNow app back in 2016, they’re actually damn glad to have me as a regular free user.

There are ways to both maintain privacy, and also use your device at the same time.

Believes he isn’t a product. Cute. But you’re full of it and a troll.

How can I be a product when they can’t figure out who I am or where I’m at?

Again, I never signed into Google in the first place.
