Seriously. I don’t want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that’s what it’s called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

What’s the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

    GrapheneOS allows you to turn off sensors (accelerometers) by app

          Edit: sorry, nevermind, you were talking about Graphene OS, not Lineage.

          Wait a minute, what about physical activity sensors? Isn’t that what the gyroscope and accelerometer fall under?
