    Tested Connect using three different privacy apps and none of them found any trackers. I don’t know if I can trust the source of that post. Instead of blindly taking my word for it you should also conduct your own tests.

      you might want to re-evaluate how you are scanning for trackers. I am running duck duck go’s app tracking protection on Android and this is it’s summary of connect for lemmy from the past 22 hours.

      1175 tracking attempts blocked from 40 different companies(trackers)

        I think this comes down to the difference in how you and I secure our phones. I get no tracker pings on any of my apps. Not even with that DuckDuckGo app running for an hour.

        Based on your sample results, Connect isn’t the problem. Your phone seems to be horribly compromised.
