Since they announced Covid in China I have not updated the following on my phone: Google, FB, IG, Gmail, Googlephotos, Chrome, YT, FB Messenger, Calendar, Gboard, anything connected to Moto, microphone / Speech Services. Nor have I allowed my phone to do any type of system update.
The only thing I've updated on my phone since late 2019 is Spotify and my games.
Same but on my Iphone and macbook. I heard a whisper that after the 13.? updates that and track and trace, Apple quietly introduced its own version? Seeing as most people just leave auto updates on I believe many now have the software on their phones.
You cant stop some updates unless you disable Google services as well as the manufacturer updates (then replace it with something else so your other apps work). That needs root and usually an unlocked bootloader. A long, deep rabbit hole; nearly impossible if you aren't a techie. Can be done though, yay AOSP!
TLDR: not updating wont save you. You need a hardened OS.
My phone came with this in the bloatware that cant be uninstalled.
oh that kind of sucks then
