I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

Just look at permission manifest of android.

It has

  • location tracking
  • phone calls reading
  • Making screenshot of your scren
  • get wifi networks around you
  • facial recognition
  • Microphone analyze of your speech

Wow thanks for sharing that gist! I never even considered installing and don’t use it, it’s just wild to see how insane that list is.

You don’t have to give it permission to do any of those things

So far not every u can control,how u would prevent screenshoting of screen? U will need using something like appmanager which require adb or root (better ofc)
