Google Play Services is quietly "Self-Verifying" and linking your phone number to ALL signed-in accounts without explicit permission.Just a heads up for anyone who values basic privacy on Android.Check your inbox for emails from [email protected]om.Without asking for my confirmation or giving me an opt-in prompt, Google Play Services performed a silent background "Self-Verification."It exchanged SIM card identifiers and device metadata with my mobile carrier, grabbed my phone number, and automatically attached it to EVERY Google account logged into my phone.No prompt. No "Do you want to link this?" button. Just a silent background action followed by a notification email telling me it already happened.How to kill this setting on Android immediately (for now) but it will self verify even if turned off Go to Settings > Google (or Google Services) > All Services > Phone Number VerificationFind Phone number verification (or Device Phone Number Verification). (Ah, and lovely it automatically appear my phone number even WHEN IT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE!)Once Google steals/verifies the number, it pushes it to your Google account profiles.You need to log into myaccount.google.com/personal-info, click on Phone, and manually delete the number from every single account where you don't want it stored.Modern "self-verification" dark patterns are completely out of hand. Check your settings before Google silently grabs your data too.NO ANDROID IS SAFE: Happened on my Android 10 Huawei, Android 14 Xiaomi and is now requesting on my emulators too...even my tablet... Beware...
>>110214641this is exactly why I disable play services and the play store and only use f-droidif you don't set up an android account it has no account to point to. not that they don't know my phone number but it's not officially connected, better than not doing anything

>>110214641Indian Hindu rape rats are a human extinction level threat. Imagine when these inbred 45 IQ subhumans start infesting our nuclear power plants and biological weapons research facilities and doing to them what they did to the tech sector. Hindu genocide was needed like yesterday.
