This rocks; the idea of flipperzero phoning home is the(my) primary concern given its use case

What use case?

I got mine to make a backup copy of the remote controls that I'm worried about losing, which happen to be sub-GHz and infrared.

Would you be willing to elaborate on the FZ phoning home?

It's a very dumb device. If you don't put in a separate wifi module it literally has no way to phone home.

The firmware is open source

Edit for all replies: I'm coming from a place of lack of education; it's not that I know FZ is phoning home, it's that I know I wouldn't be able to tell if it was.

The FZ itself is very unlikely to even be capable of phoning home.

I do sometimes wonder how concerned I need to be about the companion app though.

considering it has no wifi or gsm capabilities that is going to be pretty hard trick to achieve
