Android is still owned by Google and always spying:/

That's why a good bidirectional packet-filtering firewall is essential on modern phones. FWIW Samsung pulled smartphone production out of China last year.

NoRoot or Mobiwol if you don't already use a VPN. Netguard or Droid Firewall if you do.

AFWall+ is better than all of them, but requires rooting your phone. Check your local statues to understand possible legal implications of this. In the US, it's currently legal for phones, but possibly not tablets, though a few years ago it was not. Usually this will also void any warranty.

Fun fact: No one has ever been charged with rooting an Android device in the US.

Dumbass zoomers and zoomer-minded leftards think the Huawei ban is because BLUMPFTTTTHHH CANT STAND APPLE BEING THREATENED... but can't explain why Samsung hasn't been an issue then.

There many countries pissed at China, not just the United States. It doesn't get widely reported, but it's happening all over the world. You see small (some not so small) examples of it each day. The world has been awakened and has gotten tired of China's bullshit. Trump had a lot to do this this.
