Some folks on the !android post about this the other day cautioned about a tracker present in the app.

i wasn’t aware. Could you link the specific post? It’s not up on the feed from that community in jerboa…

EDIT: Found it. okay, yes, FUTO does have some telemetry issues. Glad I posted this as it needs this kind of scrutiny thank you!

On the flip side, I now have another Lemmy community I joined and the Exodus App that catches these sorts of trackers is pretty cool. I already had revoked FUTO’s network permissions on GrapheneOS, so hopefully that mitigates the telemetry problem.

I wish we had universal links to specific posts! Glad you were able to find it. Link for others: lemdro.id/post/2022094 - seems to be a few updates since my last visit.

mnmalst,

It’s important to clarify here that this “tracker” is a service that allows the develops to upload their crash reports. Furthermore it only triggers when the app crashed and even then you have to actively allow it to be send.
