According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.

From F-Droid:

          i just thought it’s a bit useless to delete an app “because it has Google trackers” and then keep using 23 other apps that have Google trackers

        But that’s one less app and there are great alternatives, so why continue using one that tracks you?

          I have bought the premium version because it was really cheap so no it doesn’t track me

            You do you, most goes with what’s free and there are plenty of good free options available.

            Ads are a bad way of funding the development, especially for Lemmy, a place where a lot of people are increasingly privacy-minded.

            It does. Check the official privacy policy, 9 mentions of trackers as well as the extremely limited options for opting out of the trackers.

                  And you didn’t read the prompt on launch of the free version that details the paid version doesn’t have any tracking and doesn’t even load those libraries, dumbfuck 🙄.

                  Although judging by your twisting of words and presumptuous ignorance you have no interest in the truth. You’d most likely prefer to suck another app’s boots and shill for them through fucking lies.
