You can move pretty much everything. The android site will walk you through how to do it all.
Media | How to move |
---|---|
Photos | Download Google Photos app to iPhone, hit Sync |
Music | Install Google Music Manager on your computer. (Up to 50,000 songs) |
Contacts (iCloud) | A bit more complicated, but basically yes, export the contacts from iCloud then import to Gmail |
Apps | You're SOL here for paid apps. Most free apps (Candy Crush, Boom Beach, etc.) have an option to link it with your Facebook or other Social Media account. If you want to save your progress, then you sync them via that, otherwise you start over. |

At the same time, over at postmarketOS and Plasma Mobile, we're mainlining multiple devices like the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet (sony-castor), LG Nexus 5 (lg-hammerhead), Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (sony-amami), FairPhone 2 (fairphone-fp2) and more! The devices I listed have already boot on mainline, with the Nexus 5 and the Sony Castor even having display with hardware acceleration working!
Noticed this on the Apple page for iOS 13:
> Optimized battery charging A new option helps slow the rate of battery aging by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it.
Android One is a name for phones that have stock Android and since the manufacture is working with Google, they get fast security updates, all the while packed in an (most of the time) inexpensive phone. Correct me if I made a mistake or didn't elaborate enough.
Those are not among the Google Mobile Services apps that comes preinstalled on all Google-approved Android phones. OEMs normally have their own apps for those. The current list is, from https://www.android.com/gms/

Want to dim the lights in the dining room with a tap? Add Home controls. Or use 3D Touch in Control Center to unlock even more commands.
With enough time and people, the hacking community can open up bootloaders too. They are just another piece of software, and like pretty much all software that exists, they have bugs that can be exploited.

edit: It seems to be somewhat random with regards to who gets the promo, and even then, the rewards aren't the same for everyone.
If you have AP set up, you will get an in-app notification about the promo, and a green "punch card" will show up as one of your cards. Then all systems are go.
You have to use Magisk to pass Safetynet since official LineageOS builds don't bypass Safetynet. Ironically, to pass Safetynet you have to make your phone less secure.
Once you have Magisk, you'll have to enable Magisk Hide and enable it for your banking app. You'll also have to get MagiskHide Props Config in order to change your device fingerprint to pass ctsProfile.
Apple is pretty good about supporting older devices, but you didn’t mention which version of the iPad you’re look at. A list of all the iOS 12 (current) devices is available here
No one here can officially answer what devices will be supported on iOS 13.

> Like with all Linux distros, the effort is dispersed, and everyone is doing their own thing instead of gathering a master folder full of firmware for all kinds of hardware
Please actually read the full blog post, especially this part. Libhybris is used by multiple distros to make their OS work on all kinds of Android hardware, and yes it's a shared effort. Besides, the goal of postmarketOS is to mainilne as many phones as possible, which means it can be used with any distro.
I try to stay positive, but this shows that the mobile space is a lot more difficult than Purism anticipated. I follow the SailfishOS community, and I distinctly remember a community member of theirs saying 6+ months ago, that Purism doesn't understand the complexity of the mobile stack, and that they think they can do everything themselves.
IMO, they should have taken SailfishOS's FOSS compositor, lipstick, instead of doing this all by themselves. It's been in use for at least ~5 years, with Wayland, and probably has 10k+ deployments.
linageos comes without gapps which are googles preinstalled apps and also some services but many people install them for compatibility. those are not very good privacy wise. i would suggest to use linageos for microg https://lineage.microg.org/ if you need apps that use those google services.
You can actually use your credit card instead of a virtual Mastercard (thus preserving rewards and cashback opportunities). And it offers tokenization of transactions like Apple Pay making it more secure.
Basically, if you don't use Android wear, or use casting it's really no different imo. microG has come a long way.
Like I said, you sacrifice a lot of convenience. Another option you can check out if you use Xposed is XprivacyLua.
Maps and Waze still work, although I rarely use them.
Going Googleless is a lot of work, but it can be done. I use Next cloud as my cloud service, which I host myself.
https://lineage.microg.org/ Makes it easy to switch. No sitting there fiddling with settings and pulling your hair out trying to get it to work, it just does. My battery life on my HTC 10 is ridiculous. For a two year old phone (replaced the battery last year) this thing is a champ. I'm holding out for the next OnePlus, possibly may be waiting until the next OnePlus is announced.
If you ever have questions I can help.
postmarketOS, "A real Linux distribution for your phone". Rather than using Android's drivers through a container like all other Linux phone distros do (Ubuntu Touch, SailfishOS, etc), we use nothing from Android and are working hard on porting as many phones to mainline Linux as we can.
LineageOS wont pass safety check without rooting it with suhide/magisk.
So, in order to make your bank think your phone is safe, you need to make it even more unsafe. It's just how it is.

Completely FOSS? postmarketOS or UBPorts.
If you care less about FOSS (which would be wrong ;), SailfishOS as well.
A similar kind of feature is already present in iOS 12: Critical Alerts (⌘+F), and it overrides your Do Not Disturb and sound settings. Apple will review what critical alerts an app can send, but they're only designed for emergency use at this point.
It used to not say “for 24 hours” though.
https://web.archive.org/web/20210608002227/https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15-preview/features/
Not sure if that was always the case and they just clarified on the website, or if they actually changed the feature.
Kai OS initially released in March 2017 (Wikipedia). So, It's been 1 year since their firat release and they're STILL working on to make source code available publicly... Seriously?... WTF!

I think you missed the actual release notes. That's the press release.
https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15-preview/features/
I fully agree many of the iOS 15 updates are essentially app updates, there are also very many that are not. Many things can be updated via Project Mainline and the Play Store. but looking at the actual release notes, plenty even on Android would require an OS update:
Security updates
Camera updates
Notification updates
Accessibility updates
Find My updates
Modem updates (5G / Wi-Fi)
Privacy updates
OOBE updates (OS backup / restore)
Update updates (stay on iOS 14, but receive security updates)
Car Play (thus Android Auto) updates
OS-wide Translate
Text selection / OS context menus (drag & drop)
2FA OS-integration
Profiles / Focus Modes
Digital Legacy / Phone Recovery
New APIs (notifications, focus modes, accessibility, AR, screen time, etc.)
Universal Control (one mouse, multiple Apple devices)
Apple just admitted that iOS 13 will be able to track your phone even when the WiFi and cellular are turned off by “crowdsourcing” the location.

So it could be that even if permission to use your mic is denied to an app, other people around you might be listening and know who you are...
They can't have it both ways. They promote their software and say it's better, more secure. And promote people using it.

Read that and it talks security, and community. And their stance is basically screw you to the users.

> What makes you say that?
You are right, it would be more correct to say: Many people (including me) are using LineageOS to be a little bit less dependent on Google
> I would imagine that the Lineage team don't ever hold/process any user data themselves
I'm also not entirely sure, but I think it isn't that easy to waive one's responsibilities on GDPR to Google. After all it's still the lineageOS-website that causes the data-collection to happen. And at the very least they need a privacy policy explaining what data get's collected and how to opt-out (similar to how https://www.lineageos.org/legal/ explains other data-collection very well)
If think that the simplest solution would be LineageOS with MicroG. MicroG a free (as in freedom) re-implementation of Google Play services. They make their own version of LineageOS (for various reasons, see the FAQ) with only a week delay on the updates and with F-Droid pre-installed.
The advantage is that it supports all the LineageOS supported devices, without the hassle to install GApps or go without them.
Also, I recommend you use Shelter for containerizing non-free apps in the Android Work profile which gives them no access to the rest of your phone.
The PinePhone is selling so well and people are so ecstatic about it, I'm 100% sure Pine64 will release more powerful phones over the coming years.
And in the meantime you can try running mainline Linux on your existing Android phones with for example postmarketOS, yes we do ship Plasma Mobile for those devices as well.
Not true. Pine64 is making their PinePhone which comes with hardware killswitches as well. I own their devkit currently (I work on postmarketOS), and it already has the killswitches.
CalyxOS has microg which replaces google play services. It comes with Aurora store and f droid. Aurora store is a front end for Google play store so it just downloads from there anonymously.
"With Android One, your phone will receive at least two years of OS upgrades to the latest version of Android. That means access to the latest innovations and a phone that always runs as smoothly as the day you bought it."
Mi A1 is listed there

Search for Weather, notifications are there. Not saying something in a quick spot during a keynote is not the same thing as not announcing something. They never give all the details of a new feature during these, there isn't time.
One of the cleanest, barebones android operating system replacements. Doesn't even come with any google stuff by default. 700mb rom instead of 2.1gb that my OnePlus phone uses.
This version comes with MicroG which will allow you to use some Google apps you may still not be able to live without, like the Google Keyboard, and lets many apps that rely on google push notifications to work again.
This is a great reason people should consider LineageOS with Micro G when buying their phone. Even if you don't want to use it today, you can use LineageOS when your carrier stops supporting your device!
I'm shocked that no one here has mentioned postmarketOS yet! The Librem 5 is definitely cool, but I'm sure all of you have great phones right now stuck on Android or SailfishOS (which is great, but partially proprietary) and it would be a waste to throw them away.
So that's where postmarketOS comes in: aiming to give phones a life cycle of 10 years using existing standard Linux technologies. Based on Alpine Linux, we're porting as many phones as possible to mainline and don't use anything of the Android stack at all (unlike SailfishOS and Ubuntu Touch). We're also offering multiple interfaces to choose from, including Plasma Mobile and Hildon (remember from the N900?)!
We use Alpine Linux as a base for postmarketOS due to it's insanely small base image size (~5MB without the kernel iirc) and it's easy to understand build system. While working on postmarketOS, I've grown to love it more and more. I might move my server over to it soon.
This seems desperate especially in light of Apple's new Continuity feature.
And hell, sending texts from Messages on my Mac is one of my oft-used features!
Actually, it says it right on their own guidelines page.

Regarding full lineageOS support for the foreseeable future, your best bet is probably a Pixel phone. These are still getting updates from Google, but when this ends, they will almost certainly follow their Nexus predecessors with good support in the custom rom community.
Here is a list of phones that are currently receiving the latest LineageOS builds (this list will likely grow, but you can be confident that these devices will be supported):
Unfortunately, I am not sure that any of these devices have been IP rated, although I have read that many users have experienced some type of water resistance with the OnePlus 5. The pixel 2 is IP67, but this is almost certainly out of your price range (although you can probably find it on ebay for only a little over $500 (like this one)
So am I tripping or is Apple finally allowing users to not upgrade to a newer version like iOS 15?
> Software Updates
> iOS may now offer a choice between two software update versions in the Settings app. You can update to the latest version of iOS 15 as soon as it’s released for the latest features and most complete set of security updates. Or continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates.
https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15-preview/features/
Does this mean that users can choose to remain on iOS 14 (and subsequent versions) indefinitely? Why isn't this being talked about more? This is great for folks who want to wait and watch if the newer version is stable or attractive enough to upgrade to.
Graphene is a wonderful OS but I don't think it is what OP is looking for here. Graphene is super strict about security and therefore only supports 6 devices. It also doesn't work with microG, which is necessary for running many applications without having google services installed. LineageOS for microG is what I would recommend for a good balance between privacy and usability without jumping straight into the deepest depths of the rabbit hole.
Besides Android, there is postmarketOS (which I work on myself so I might be a bit biased), Plasma Mobile based on KDE Neon, Ubuntu Phone (from UBPorts), SailfishOS, LuneOS, etc.
Works with AirPods Pro, AirPods (2nd generation), EarPods, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Solo Pro.
Check point 11 at the bottom of the page in link below
Android Auto is a safer way to do that, and now works in any car because it can run directly on the phone screen. All you need is an Android phone, the Android Auto app (free), and an inexpensive mount.
It's controlled primarily via voice, and lets you access navigation, music/podcasts/audiobooks, calls, messaging (text-to-speech + autoreply + voice dictation), and Google Assistant with a minimum of distraction. It restricts features and suppresses notifications. You trigger voice commands either by saying "OK Google" or by pressing a steering wheel button if your car has one.
For iPhone, there is CarPlay, but that requires a newer car or a compatible aftermarket head unit. From what I've heard, it's also limited because Siri and Apple Maps aren't as good as Google Assistant and Google Maps.
It was mascot called VoLTE, intended as april fool. They used the mascot as the bootanimation and the changelog said
-added VoLTE for all devices
since a lot of people asked to add VoLTE for their devices (which you can't just simply add without the OEM supporting it).
These are just technicalities. AOSP = Android Open Source Project. Any reasonable person knows that manufacturer and custom roms are still Android. What is allowed to be used to publicise something is a different matter.
The point is that the guy is trying to push his product as something completely new that needs investment, when he's just mostly bundling up other people's existing work.
It's essentially the same idea as this but those guys didn't go to Kickstarter asking for tens of thousands of pounds in investment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes. They called it Interactive Notifications.
https://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/design/
On this page, just below the images for Interactive notifications, there are 3 bullets. the far right bullet will show Facebook and it says
"Third-party apps
When developers update their apps, you’ll be able to reply to those notifications, too."
As a side note: It would be nice, once you swipe down on a notification, to be able to swipe your finger from right to left to show a couple more options. I could see in Facebook (just an example) the ability to Comment, Like, Reply to Message, or Reshare. I guess that would be dependent on the type of notification coming in also. Having more than just two options somehow would be helpful I'm sure. Whatever options are given, are sure to be faster than going to an app and doing it there.
The current answers are decent, but surprisingly not thorough, or sort of incomplete.
Short answer: A huge NO
Longer answer: a distribution like Ubuntu (I can't think of any other distributions) doesn't currently (as far as I know), and very good chance won't in the future, but as you showed, they did do certain things some people didn't like.THAT SAID, as far as I understand that feature was disable-able/removable, and even what it did do wasn't super crazy or invasive, just stuff like search query logging which is pretty weak (of course R. Stallman will say that's getting their foot in the door and a slippery slope, or even merely that even that in itself is totally unacceptable, but most people aren't even close to sharing his specifics of opinion).
Anyway, virtually all distributions of Linux aren't owned by a company and hence have no reason to do such a thing (I guess one other exception might be Chrome OS, but that's typically hardware limited to Chromebooks). Even one of the few that is owned by a company immediately pulled that feature after introducing it.
One notable exception is Android, if you count that as Linux (it is certainly not GNU-Linux, but it uses the Linux kernel so many people still consider it to be Linux). Google has all sorts of stuff that they watch and use. Although for both PCs and mobiles (but especially mobiles), frequently the biggest issue to privacy is simply with the programs and web services that you use, not the OS itself. If you use Android and don't like how Google has you in their pocket, you should easily be able to switch to LineageOS
To add more details: As of this year’s release (iOS 15), the oldest phone still supported is the iPhone 6S, which came out in 2015.
It’s important to consider also that not running the latest OS is not equivalent to not being supported. Apple has released security patches for older OSes in recent years (for example this update for iOS 12 (from 2018) which came out this year).
look into microg as alternative to google services. It's an open source alternative that is based on google play services but anonymises your data. If you cannot do without google push for example, this would be your best bet. You don't need to use location data from google any more but can use a locally downloaded file or use mozilla's location backend instead. Lineage does not support microg natively though, so it would be easier to use the fork which is called lineage for microg https://lineage.microg.org/. You need a rom that supports signature spoofing (I use crdroid on my moto g) but lineage for micro g would be my choice of rom now, as it is the most well mainained rom when it comes to android updates.
That’s not true as of last year like said:
https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/available-models/
I was literally on the lot for like 2 hours and they even had the shop look into whether I could add it aftermarket as a paid upgrade. No dice.
You can use Google Drive's backup feature and Google Photos also has unlimited photo storage for free. Use Google drive to backup everything except photos and use Google Photos to backup pictures.
Only for devices that have the license in their stock rom
> AptX and AptXHD have been added to supported platforms. Bear in mind, only devices that had this feature on their stock ROM will have this functionality in LineageOS
Only in Greece, NZ, Turkey and the Philippines for now. California, Oregon and Washington use data from CA’s ShakeAlert System

But it deffo would’ve been useful during last week’s VIC quake
You cannot list an app store on Google Play which offers a lower rate of commission (more precisely it cannot bypass Google's method of payment, and thus the 30% commission that goes to Google).
Thus, an alternate app store which offered a lower than 30% non-zero commission for paid/in-app purchases could not be listed on Google Play.
Thus on Google Play, there is no price competition on the 30% number for paid/in-app purchases.
In addition, your app on Google Play cannot point to an APK that offers a different payment method, and it is considered good practice among devs to NOT point to a website that hosts such APKs (that have alternate payment methods). So you cannot point to your own website where a variant of your APK resides which offers an alternate payment method bypassing Google.
In addition you cannot point to your own website, where an alternative APK version is made available which violates Google Play policies in general. So Google censoring extends beyond just the Play store, and also to the developer website that your app points to.
In addition, side-loaded apps will face restrictions - as these are OS enforced restrictions, backed up further by Google policy.
Tomorrow they could start putting apps they have banned on their remove-if-seen list:
> That way, no matter where you download an app from, you know it’s been checked by Google Play Protect
EDIT: In addition, regardless of the differences between Google and Apple, IF Apple winds up reducing the 30% commission, there will powerful pressure on Google to do the same. So the pressure on Google may not even be direct, but could arise just from an Apple precedent.
Performance - I'm guessing they finally increased keyboard RAM for 3rd party keyboards? I saw in the feature list (https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-12-preview/features/), that keyboard would show up faster and perform better. I was guessing they meant the stock iOS keyboard but I found that GBoard runs great. Before the beta, I couldn't stay on a different keyboard for longer than 30 minutes because of keyboard crashes or just overall lag.
what? no it's not. it hasn't changed at all in iOS 8.
source: using iOS 8 beta 5. also, ios 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/quicktype/images/predicts_screen_messages.jpg ios 7 and 7.1 (when they fucked it up): http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/01/ios71keyboard.jpg
Right? I kept refreshing the live stream page and went to their YouTube page, thinking my slow connection must be f'ing up the live stream for me. But nope, that was all.. just the name reveal..!!
EDIT - at least the 404 is gone now. Oreo page is live.
Android 7.0 in general comes with huge feature improvements, such as Doze mode for better battery life. However, a huge noticeable one for me is how quickly apps install from the Play Store - even if you don't install that many apps, updating apps on older versions of Android can take ages, but with 7.0 it's super fast.
Also, another feature relevant to a normal user is the extra emojis - over 1500 of them (!), bringing Android on par with iOS in terms of emoji support.
Take a look at this page: https://www.android.com/versions/nougat-7-0/
In addition to stock Android features, LineageOS has stuff like Ambient Display (wake device to show notifications), Night Mode, Privacy Guard (prevent apps from accessing your contacts or GPS), all of which can be useful to the average user.
But your biggest selling point is performance. Basically tell them the phone will become so fast and smooth that it's like buying a brand new flagship phone. :)
Scroll down a little and theres a bunch of store logos. Click the ' v' down arrow to expand the list.
But really I think it works at any card terminal that has an NFC chip inside. If it has those little wifi wave symbols it should go.
So you mean Google wouldn't, for example, be willing to take GPL-licensed code and make a derivative of it a significant part of their business plan?
Yes > More app and system experiences are enhanced by faster 5G connectivity, including support to back up to iCloud and restore from an iCloud backup
Latest LineageOS has similar firewall capabilities as CalyxOS. For microG you can grab/build LineageOS with microG support (https://lineage.microg.org/).
If you can't re-lock bootloader, CalyxOS doesn't have much benefits over LineageOS.
r/lineageos bans discussion of some possibilities like microG. r/fossdroid might be better.
I don't know the code names for the G5 but if the phone is officially supported by Lineage then there should be a "Lineage for microG" build available for it at https://lineage.microg.org/ I find that for my G4 Play the build there is a good starting point for running with decreased exposure to Google.
Oops. Just noticed this thread was originally on fossdroid, sorry for the link back to itself. There is a r/microg subreddit but I find that XDA is a better place for discussion and help on that.
> Support for English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese is now included.
QuickPath supports several languages, according to the iOS 13 site.
Don't plug in your phone until the unit has booted. That seems to help reduce glitchiness for me.
Rearrange your apps to your liking on the CarPlay setting under Settings>General>CarPlay. You have multiple pages to use.
Look for CarPlay tips at https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-carplay
CarPlay apps are listed at https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/
> The way they scrubbed it from their website
It was never there to be scrubbed. The earliest snap of the iOS 11 page shows zero mentions: http://web.archive.org/web/20170913020018/https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-11/

Just found this. I didn't know the iPhone did about half of these things.
I am not a macintosh user, but it boggles my mind that highly profitable publicly traded company would spend time developing system-wide features that most of us will never hear of but greatly benefit a small and uniquely disadvantaged minority to enjoy technologies that most of us take for granted.
They say that digital wellbeing will be coming this fall, and you can sign up for the beta here: https://www.android.com/versions/pie-9-0/digital-wellbeing-beta/
Requirements: Have a Pixel device and be running Android 9 Pie.
Uninstall any antivirus, antivirus on Android and iOS are scams. Google Play Store integrates a virus scanner out of the box.
Which apps did you install that needed so many permissions? Most of the apps I have don't require any permission at all, except for the microphone for the voice search.
Also, you can fine tune the permissions on the Android apps, so if you think an app doesn't need a specific permission you can just prevent it from accessing it.

They are mandated to upgrade to O for the KEYone and Motion, under Android Enterprise Recommended by Google. We just don't know when. Yet to see if the KEY2 will make that list as well, or if they would get kicked out of the program because of the two.

Kinda hoped Google would enforce a timeline as well, they only do for patches.
I believe this was created for plasma mobile. I've seen a very similar interface somewhere on Android before; it works great for small touch screens.
If you want alarms, KAlarm is an actual desktop app.
Jolla, but it is possible to install Sailfish on Android devices, too.
It's hands down the best mobile phone OS I've used. After using the buttonless swipe-pull-push UI, going back to Android/iOS feels the same as going back from tiling wm to a floating one. Or typing with only one finger:) and as a bonus it runs Android applications, too (but I rarely use them).
> Now all i want is a full KDE phone running on linux
Over at postmarketOS we're hard at work at making that happen together with Plasma Mobile. And of course, also Purism with their Librem 5!
Buried in the iOS 13 preview page, besides the removal of an app on your phone affecting the CarPlay display and vice versa, there's also these:
> Bluetooth album art
> iOS supports the AVRCP 1.6 standard, which includes album art when connected to a supported car kit or speaker.
Great for cars that lack CarPlay, and if the driver doesn't want to use built-in iPod support.
> Second video stream support
> Automakers can develop CarPlay systems that show information in a second screen, such as in a cluster or HUD.
This would be nice for newer cars with digital gauges.
> Settings
> Now there’s a place to change display and Do Not Disturb settings.
Display settings? Sounds like there might be options there for text size, dashboard, etc.
Can you post some screenshots? Apple’s iOS 12 page shows notifications grouped on the lock screen (it doesn’t show the “Notification Center” text on top).
EDIT: Definitely seems like you’re running into a bug, not the expected behavior. Be sure to file a radar!
I don't recall if he said during the keynote, but Apple's iOS 11 preview site says it explicitly in a footnote:
> Person to person payments and Apple Pay Cash are available only in the U.S. on iPhone SE, iPhone 6 or later, iPad Pro, iPad (5th generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 or later, and Apple Watch.
It may eventually launch in other countries, but it doesn't appear to be in the plans for the near future. Green Dot doesn't operate in any other countries, does it?
Graphene and CalyxOS both work on the Pixel 3 as long as you have a carrier unlocked device:
The Pixel 5 is getting a bit old now (with only two years of guaranteed updates ahead of it) and the Pixel 6 has had very little information released about it, aside from using Google SOC which will take longer to port GOS/COS over to it.
First you should join the Plasma Mobile channel (https://www.plasma-mobile.org/join/). You'll get any questions answered there.
Then you'll need to pick something you want to work on. That can be anything from low-level stuff to basic shell functions to applications. You can use https://www.plasma-mobile.org/findyourway/ to find something suitable for you.
You don't need to understand every aspect of the codebase (it's huge). Just pick something you are interested in and start digging in. You'll learn a lot and always find new things to improve
This is a Google service. Google does all it can to track you. They use cookies, browser fingerprinting, if you're logged into their service they know even more about it. And then there is the location service running on your devices, which may in addition to GPS use bluetooth and wifi networks (both visible and just hardware addresses of these routers).
Google does all that - because they are essentially an Ad service, so they can provide you with the best matching ads based on who you are and where you are.
If you want to avoid this. Stop using any of the Google services first of all. Use a de-googled phone, like https://e.foundation/ ... and wipe cookies as often as you can.
