I’m using e/OS on a fairphone 6 since some months. I would like to use Android Auto for long trips, though the official documentation tells me to install Google, Google Maps, Google Speech Recognition and then Android Auto.
What privacy implications has installing these? Does the “Advanced Privacy” of e/OS help in keeping my data as far as possible?
I know, that using Google Maps and Android Auto will give Google the usage data of what I’m doing in these while I’m using them. But what about when they are currently not in use? Or apps, that I use while Android Auto is active, but which don’t have an integration for it?
There seems to be a set of OSS stub apps, that replace the Google Apss, though from what I have found online they give very mixed results.
I really would like to do without google appa. Though Android Auto has a great value for me, when we go on vacation. Thus I want to be informed about the facts, before I commit to a way to go. And without rooting or custom ROMs the possibilities are limited
As I said, I have no single Google apps and this work. I just don’t have tts and voice recognition, but one can easily do without, furthermore if you have someone by your side that can reply for you or you can wait a break to reply to messages. I have apps to have the map, my music, my podcasts, my audiobooks, all available on my car interface which is enough for me.
