Everyone knows all the apps on your phone

Just wow. I assumed that Google patched this few years back but guess they left a few backdoors.

I would pretty much assume that any Android phone is a massive privacy leak and security risk. I’d hope that an iPhone is better, but I’d be wrong.

It's probably an oversight than a "backdoor". They already have a "frontdoor" in the form of a permission that's pre-granted to them by the OS, so there's little need for them to devise backdoors like the android.intent.action.MAIN query that the blog post mentions.

I just don't trust Google anymore. They are not the same as they were years ago and have just declined in general.

Play Store Review and everything takes weeks sometimes and I can't tolerate that.
