The best way to achieve this is by creating an account on NextDNS, then setting your phone to use the NextDNS DNS. On the web dashboard, look at the logs and blacklist anything from Google, Google Play, or anything else you don't want. This not only works but also gives you more control over everything your phone is doing in the background, regardless of whether you're using Wi-Fi or a mobile network.

    Hi,

    This has nothing to do with reading notifications but getting an approximate location based on notifications.

    Like I said, if the notifications are sent encrypted, there is no way to read them.

    Regarding tracking locations based on push messages, the only way to avoid it is by carefully selecting which apps are allowed to send you notifications.

    Again, it does not matter what operating system you are using.

    I don't recall any article like you said; can you provide me with a link?

    Also, reading notifications is only possible if the notifications are not encrypted; otherwise, it is not possible.

    And this relies on the service that is sending the notification and has nothing to do with the OS you are using.

    Avoid Docker as much as possible. It gives you a quick way to run apps, but in a way that you can't see what is going to be installed.

    It is also double resource heater.

    And it has many frequent vulnerabilities.
