I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?
TIL Tasker even worked without root lol.
Also, why do we even need tasker to do that? iOS allows you to do that with its Shortcuts app lol, this is a weird moment when Android is becoming more closed and iOS open (in system wide features).
Well, that is why I chuckle when people say there is no reason to root nowadays... Heck, not even banking apps will prevent me from rooting my phone, and my next android purchases are gonna be based in whether it can be rooted or not.
Well, you need Tasker because that's one of the Android equivalents of the Shortcuts app.
Sure, but I meant, how is it that we don't have a native tool for this (like Automator) or at least a system app from Google (like Shortcuts app).
Samsung has Routines. Might be worth to check out of its possible to run it outside OneUI.
Fair, I was being cheeky. I don't know if I trust Google anymore to make and maintain a good app or service.
