W1zardK1ng Anon6095 Yah but the problem is most these devices ask to create an account on their app on the initial login, the app keeps collecting data and when we enable internet for the apps to update the firmware of the device it send that data to the parent company, gadget bridge is a good option but if it can update the firmware.
23Sha-ger Let it sink in. Privacy and CCP owned Huawei in the same post.
23Sha-ger Reference from past, can be found on your favorite search engine:
In May 2019 a Huawei Mediapad M5 belonging to a Canadian IT engineer living in Taiwan was found to be sending data to servers in China despite never being authorized to do so. The apps could not be disabled and continued to send sensitive data even after appearing to be deleted.
I am totally aware of this.
My initial plan was to set up the Watch and update the firmware (in my proprietary profile) on time, then uninstall the app, and reinstall it inside my main profile without network permission and never give it to the app at any time.
Because I don't have any proprietary apps inside my main profile that have network permission, IPC exfiltration would also not be an option.
But we don't need to talk about Huawei anymore, because I found out that their app always require network permission, which undermines my plan.
Therefore I will NOT by a Huawei watch.
