I’ve started missing out on events just because I am not in the group chats my friends are having on there. That is where I draw my limit. I need to start using Messenger.
However I still wish to use Messenger with as much privacy as possible. I am looking for any advice that might improve my experience and lessen any privacy impact.
I will be creating a fresh account that will just have a picture of me and my first name.
I am running iodeOS (Google-free Android ROM with built in ad-block) on my phone and I am very happy with it so far. I will be blocking messengers outgoing requests as much as possible while still retaining base functionality, but I’m not sure how much that will help.
How do I best use Messenger on Android from a privacy perspective?
Work profile, or a PWA I think would be the best way to
What good will a work profile do me? As mentioned in the other reply, what privacy gain am I really looking at in return for the tradeoff?
Limits data access, right?
You tell us.
Using PWA you’ll retain all the features and nice-to-haves of the app, while also preventing it from doing any weird magic to your files in the background. Sharing files from your main profile to your private profile is also as easy as opening the file in your main profiles file browser and clicking “share”.
What is your threat/privacy level? How far are you willing to go, and what/how much is it that you want to keep private?I’m clearly too tired to make any sense. Please have a nice evening.
