  • What should I be doing to secure/minimise tracking on an Android phone? Is there a quick start guide or anyone document their setup?

  • Don't use android for a start...

  • Turn off location services, turn off wifi, use Firefox w/ uBlock Origins or Ghostery or Tor for browsing.

    Get NetGuard VPN and buy "view blocked traffic log" and "filter network traffic" PRO features. Then blacklist everything and only whitelist stuff you know your apps need to work.

  • Apologies for such a glib reply! Maybe have a look at LineageOS or rooting the phone so you can install a system-wide ad/tracker blocker.

    Of course if you're using Google's services, they'll be using some statistical stuff anyway...
    For that, you can go to your Google account settings and tweak some privacy stuff so you at least don't get targeted advertising. It's not the perfect solution but it makes things just that little bit less creepy :)
