I've always said when people said "Hey, you just turn _______ off" that they have no clue if its really off or not. I went from an Iphone SE which I found too restricting freedom wise back to an android phone and realized after having apps that havent been clicked in weeks give me notifications that I do not feel comfortable with android. Plus, my Wifi keeps turning back on after i turn it off even with the appropriate settings disabled, which keeps interupting my internet radio streams because the Wifi internet has a portal.</p><p><br></p><p>I am so close to just saying screw everything and getting a flip phone, and using a mp3 player for my podcasts and audiobooks but the tediousness of downloading all that stuff on my computer and organizing it in a mp3 player is stopping me …….. for the moment.</p>

<p>Being a little light hearted for a moment – I wouldn't worry too much as Microsoft have demonstrated multi-year ability to ignore activity data when dealing with Windows bug issues or problematic software/settings/procedures etc – and that from people who willingly sent the data back to Microsoft!!! </p><p><br></p><p>If you wish to avoid Microsoft reading your activity data – join the Windows insiders club.</p>
