    Because most of my software doesn’t have support for webp, including but not limited to my Mac, phone, and messaging apps. Until everything supports it, I have to keep converting it to use it, so I just don’t bother saving anything as webp. In fact, I have a firefox extension that lets me save webp as other image formats.

    It may be good to use for the web, but it’s not yet good for me.














  • I would imagine the risk depends on the app, your use case of the phone and the app, and if you’re a high-profile target.

    That said, Android phones have an Android ID, an Advertising ID, a sim ID, wifi ID, bluetooth ID, MAC address, IMEIs, and more.

    There is an Xposed module called Android Faker that claims to spoof these IDs. It requires root and something that can manage xposed modules, such as LSPosed. I only use it for a few super sketchy apps that I need and don’t trust.






  • Yeah Google claims it’s not recording, storing or being sent the conversations or sharing them with anyone, and that this is all done ‘on-device’.

    The thing is, I don’t trust them. At all.

    Maybe the terms and conditions will silently change. Maybe their definitions of “recording” and “save” will change. Maybe they’re blatantly lying and are willing to pay a fine if they get caught.

    Google’s whole business model is harvesting and selling people’s data, so I have to assume the worst intentions.
