    My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

    But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

    Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

        Seconded.

        And having each other’s location is really helpful. I’m nervous if my partner doesn’t know where I am.

          We switched to Fairphones running e/OS so we have pretty solid control of that. Im looking forward to postmarketOS being a bit more stable.

          When did I ever say that? Why would you just assume that since I said google is tracking your location I just being using an iPhone and thibk that apple is better? Fuck apple and google they both suck. Dont use either of them.

        Same for any other phone manufacturer. I won’t trust Apple any more than I do with Google.

        The only ones I’d actually trust to keep it somewhat private and probably LineageOS and GrapheneOS (no experience with gOS)
