I can’t see why not. With Apple it is a simple on-off toggle for each device and of turned on the user chooses one device that they want to use to indicate their location
But we are talking about having our device inadvertently used by Google to locate other peoples devices. They are advertising that they have a network of over a billion android devices to locate such things. Not only do I not want to buy a tracker I also don’t want to participate in this network.
It’s not really the thing that is important. On principal I disagree with the idea that it isn’t opt-in only. Then ontop of that if there is no way to even opt-out that is crossing the line. It doesn’t matter what it is or what it is for.
There must be a way to completely opt out and not have this affect your device in any way right?
I doubt it
Looks like I’ll be installing some custom OS like Graphene.
@Izzy @Tagger That’s an excellent choice if you want to have control over your phone instead of it having control over you. 😉
@Izzy @Tagger CalyxOS is a fantastic choice too! :blobfoxcomputer:

I’m okay with helping people find their things. Especially if I’m in an airport or generally in public.
Maybe I’d want it off when I’m connected to my home WiFi.
