👉 Before you download any app, ask yourself:

📜 Have you actually read what the developer says about data collection and sharing?

Most users scroll past permissions — but that’s where the real surveillance begins.

🔍 Awareness is defense.

📱 Android’s Digital Wellbeing tracks your app use, unlocks, notifications, and sleep patterns — all controlled by Google.

⚠️ It’s built to keep you hooked, not truly help.

🔒 Disable it, revoke usage access, or try de-Googled ROMs like GrapheneOS.

🗝️ True digital wellbeing is about control — not silent surveillance.
