*Google Play Store settings*
HELP: I don't normally have a Google Play account, so I need your
help to advise others how best to set up Google Play for privacy!
IMHO, if you've ever owned an Android phone for even a few months, there
should never be any good reason to have a Google Play Store account on any
Android phone, but if you insist on having a Google Play account, then we
should figure out how best to set that account up for privacy.
Please improve so all benefit from every action.
1. Start the Google "Play Store" app
2. Log in (as you should never be logged in, IMHO)
3. Hamburger > Settings > General >
Auto-update apps = (set this to your preferences)
(_)Over any network
(_)Over Wi-Fi only
(o)Do not auto-update apps.
4. Hamburger > Settings > General >
Clear local search history
5. Hamburger > Settings > General > Notifications
Updates [_] (set this to your desires)
Auto-updates [_] (set this to your desires)
6. Hamburger > Settings > User controls >
Google Play instant = none
Require authentication for purchases = For all purchases
7. Hamburger > Settings > Account >
(check the settings for your credit and email info)
8. Hamburger > Play Protect >
Scan device for security threats = (set this to your desires)
Improve harmful app detection = off
9. Hamburger > My apps & games > Updates >
For each app listed, decide if you wish to press [Update]
Please improve so all benefit from every action.
