I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn’t scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn’t work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?

Depends on the device and the country, in the case of mine no
i mean unless your phone is locked to a carrier there’s nothing stopping you?
On my phones model number there is no method that is publicly available at least, trust me I have researched it at least once a year sense I bought it
