VICKY, 01 May 2020Hi, from all the posts, I think you have raised the most relevant question. I think that us... moreThank you. Your post was very interesting, as well. It is entirely possible for such scenarios to exist, as no one knows exactly if/how the data is filtered and to what extent it is being used.

Especially since collecting images of a user's screen seems too much for alleged „quality improvements“ of a company's apps and services.

Spanky, 01 May 2020The real problem is not the fact that they collect data. Even from the early days of the inter... moreHi,
from all the posts, I think you have raised the most relevant question.
I think that using the AI of the processor they are looking for certain people who have certain specific jobs or roles. By collecting the history of the phones, people can be tracked & also identified what they do. Hence people who are into research, govt jobs, secret services & public activities should avoid such hardware. Every soon processors will be so much equipped using AI that it can be used to stop people from doing what they do if required. In a situation where the activity information of a person is known then they can be tracked & controlled.
Hope you now have some idea that how data is important for some people of some one.

Wow big news. collecting data is the norm these days. The real problem with what's mentioned here is that they get to view your personal pics, music and videos which is way out of line and a major invasion of privacy.I hope that they suffer the same fate as Huawei.Can't wait for daddy Trump to hear this news!

You don't say? They collect pretty much everything, not just browsing data, how do you think they make money?

YUKI93, 01 May 2020I bet this must be from Xiaomi's MIUI. Not that I'm concerned by it since I have Sailfish OS i... moreEven on MIUI, there are a bunch of things than ppl can change in settings menu to stop this default data theft, but most ppl never bother to change them.
Everything is being done with our consent.

Thank God for Xiaomi and others allowing bootloader unlock unlike Huawei where one can take privacy in their own hands by installing a PROPER Firewall. The default one in Android 10 is useless.

Anonymous, 01 May 2020Siri is local, unlike Google Assistant. That's why Siri sucks compared to Google Assistant.Who told you that? It's connected to the Internet, every single system app is connected to the Internet the moment you turn on your WiFi or LTE.

And how we made it here anyway, from data collection to scratching ass-es? It seems, user above, with opinion or not, nickname, gone to far in browsing veird videos, somwhere (but, at least, we know that, Xiaomi knows where, it seems Apple, also) Haha (:
