Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm really digging the 9 I got from you. I assume there's no "find my phone" on that. I disabled location services for everything except Waze, which I need for navigation.
i would like to introduce you to my good friend osmand+ from fdroid. no more closed source nav apps required. NOTE: may require gps-coordinates.net for best results with addresses
The find my phone is on the 9, but it needs a Google account to work. It could be a backdoor, but so could anything like the mics. My point was NOT that the 9 is compromised, but more-so that these less expensive models would be great gifts to on-board people to freedom tech and privacy.
As an alternative I can recommend this app https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydevice
