   My Android phone just notified me that the 'Find My Device' functionality will now use the Bluetooth of other phones to locate my device (and by extension my device's BT to find others)
   
   It sounds like a cool idea until you realize it's also near constant surveillance of your location. It's also opt-out.
   
   Is there any option left for Android phones that comes with no Google shit by now?

     @Aeder I don't think so. Even on flagship models you need to have the correct variant (usually European/international ones equipped with Exynos SoC)

     @pesekcuy Can Samsung phones still be wiped clean outside of flagship models?
