Neither did mine… But it’s got Google all up in it.

yes well google makes android, facebook owns whatsapp….
if you want to fully degoogle your android you have to root it and install a different ROM….
nothing to do with whatsapp though

Right, I was just saying I’ve never had meta on here. And id like to get rid of Google too but… Pixel 9 😅

Pixels are the best phones to change ROMs (it’s peculiar but it’s true). Take a look at GrapheneOS. I’m running it on a Pixel 7 Pro and all my apps work.

Huh, that is surprising. Lol well cool then!

It’s very easy.

i mean, Android is made by google….
but i think the pixel is particularly well supported by 3rd party roms…
seems doable: https://xdaforums.com/f/google-pixel-9.12879/
banking apps and some others don’t like if your phone is rooted though…

Thanks, I’ll have to look deeper into it.
