It’s no secret that Android apps can and often do track users as they navigate their devices and the internet. This is done through systems that monitor users’ habits and report various parameters to third parties, whether that data is as innocuous as how a particular button is used or more consequential, such as location or other personal details.
While tracking itself isn’t necessarily a problem, I don’t want trackers shadowing me, so I try to block these as broadly as possible. But just how many apps are engaging in this activity on my phone?
