i get "do you want to enable play protect" on every app install from f-droid or from browser. they push you yes/no until you say yes then say consent was given..
same for stock sms app. do you want to enable xxx features. i say no but next day it says again. and same for dialer.
i only use these stock apps so i can only say about those.
consent should be one time. yes or no.
then have google location sharing, wifi /ble scanning. i disable it but every time app requests google locaiton, it enables location sharing.
i should be able to use third party app without sharing location data with google. it should not be either/or situation.
no location sharing with google/carrier means no location sharing.
next is the "location sharing with emergency call". i have strictly disabled location sharing with stock phone app and disabled emergency location sharing. because here in india that techstack doesnt exist on other side of first reponders so its pointless. the app still queries location on every accidental emergency call.
i am using moto G30 with stock android almost which lets do do much more than xiaomi or other crapware but even they force shit on you
