@piracy Do cracked apps still send data to Google/Android or they bypass them?

I was wondering if while using (trusted) cracked apps they still send data to Google, Android, Meta, etc. or to the app owner.

Which in some cases means also disabling trackers. Adobe Photoshop comes to mind - you need to disable communication with Adobe servers for the crack to work, essentially disabling telemetry as a byproduct.

@rikudou That's great. Didn't think about it.
