      If you read the article it says there will be a toggle to enable or disable the feature. It’s part of updates to support their “find my device” network

        Sorry I’m one of the Lemmy users who sometimes don’t open the links and read sources. It’s really really good if the feature can be completely disabled. Though opt-it might be a little bit better

        EDIT: I just read the article and didn’t see the info about disabling the feature. It can be my poor English knowledge though. Could you say where exactly it says about it?

          There’s more than one spot that covers it, but one part says “You should be able to ignore the auto-on toggle and disable Bluetooth as usual, though”

        Maybe someday, everytime someone says “just get a Linux phone” I look a few up and the specs are always piss poor…

        Better to just get a pixel and slap GrapheneOS (A privacy and security focused Android fork) on it

        Unfortunately only a few phones support Linux well and they are either really old (OnePlus 6, Samsung A5 etc) or expensive (PinePhone and FairPhone). Privacy costs a lot nowadays
