I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?
Just have your WiFi turn back on when you get back to your home, you can do location based stuff with tasker, I used to have it on my old phone and made it turn my phone on silent and turn off the WiFi when I got to work, but as soon as I got home it put my phne back to normal.
Yeah thars what I said :P
No you don’t understand. See you can set it to turn on once his GPS shows he’s home again.
Yes, which i literally said "cell tower / similar location option"
Cell tower is the lowest power cost for getting location, GPS is the most power hungry.

I've used tasker for 13 years, im quite aware it can do GPS :P
Sorry, I meant it as an /s because people didn’t get you before!
Ew Location based stuff is even less privacy. That is a feature I never turn on unless I really need directions ...
