For Google Maps, what about a dedicated phone for just running Maps? It would only get internet from hotspot on your real phone.

You can run multiple user profiles on one phone to isolate apps like Google Maps.

Yup, that's what I do.

Never considered something like that. Shame it's only for GrapheneOS, which apparently only runs on Google Pixel phones.

[–] onion@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

Graphene allows more profiles but it should work on stock android

The irony of posting a YouTube link to a comment thread that started with the person looking to degoogle is delicious.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

2 phones is a huge pain in the ass even when they have completely separate contexts like work & personal.

It's a hard no if it's just for maps.
