@piracy Do cracked apps still send data to Google/Android or they bypass them?
I was wondering if while using (trusted) cracked apps they still send data to Google, Android, Meta, etc. or to the app owner.

@Riccardo_Mar It depends on the crack I guess, but most likely yes. The crack is usually there only to bypass license check.
Which in some cases means also disabling trackers. Adobe Photoshop comes to mind - you need to disable communication with Adobe servers for the crack to work, essentially disabling telemetry as a byproduct.
@rikudou That's great. Didn't think about it.
