      I don’t know Android. Sorry. Doesn’t locking down to very very limited hardened features goes against everything Android is (highly flexible customizable for power users who’d want to do that kind of stuff)?

        If the feature can be turned on and off by the user then I don’t think it goes against anything right, they’d still have the power?🤔 but locking down everything doesnt seem like a great fix for the average user. Bug fixes should be the real fix
