  • A couple of things come into my mind. Note that this isn’t exhaustive.

    • Google will obviously know you signed up for that service. Additionally, they will know when you log into your account.
    • Google may provide personal information that are listed in the signup screen, such as your name, birthday, etc. You will be notified of what will be provided (highly doubt Google would blantly lie about this part), and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to provide them or not. The site itself may ask for more than necessary.




  • Honestly, not quite sure why it happens, but I know it’s something to do with using it in Korea, where Pixel phones are not natively supported. In other words, it happens with Pixel phones, regardless of the OS.

    As to how I knew it would work with the fix, it was a gamble. I rooted my phone and enabled VoLTE prior to that app.




  • I have one “Daily” profile where I keep thing I don’t mind showing others, and many other private profiles. Each private profile has a unique environment I find myself using every now and then, so it’s a bit like VMs. For example, one profile has VPN on 24/7, another with Orbot, and another with a non-functional VPN (which is basically no network). It enforces the rule so that I don’t fuck things up by accident. Primary profile is just a package manager for me.

    I have multiple profile active, but it’s usually just for long downloads. It was annoying whenever I go back to a profile expecting some long job to be done, only to find out it got killed 10 seconds after starting it. Or worse, finding out my Daily profile got killed.

    I don’t get many cross profile notifications because I almost never receive one outside of the Daily profile.
