I have switched my phone's OS to lineage, Everything has been much more better. generally it is a smoother experience, wich gives me peace of mind and control over my phone.

One of the main reasons for me to make the switch were concerns for privacy. I normally keep location, camera and microphone disabled, until I use them.I know stock operating systems based on android from many different brands don't actually disable things like location completely.

I'd like to know if wether or not disabling these settings has an effect on my personal privacy, or if at least it is better than sending data 24/7 to google.
