My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc.

This made me really appreciate Memmy, with which I have had no issues so far, and am impressed with how clean and easy it has been to use despite being new.

So that’s all, just a huge thank you.

    Well, it’s including the „Microsoft App Center“ tracker. I have to block ||appcenter.ms^

    Several other Lemmy Apps do not have any tracker.

    Edit: turns out the request can be useful. See comments. Still strange to get from Microsoft.

      I’d guess that’s because we use CodePush to do over the air updates, so you don’t have to wait for apple to approve a build.

          Just for more reference, there are options to enable analytics, but they are not installed in the app. That is a separate package that is not added as I don’t feel comfortable receiving whatever they would send. It’s probably harmless but I don’t even want the hassle.

      Are you sure it’s the app and not websites you visit through Lemmy or your instance tracking you? I’m not seeing any tracking on my end when just browsing.

        Yes, I am sure. The App Store even say that some device ID are get shared with the App.

          Device ID is just for push notifications.
