This App Stops Your Phone From Spying on You 🤯

The transcript features a discussion about smartphone privacy concerns and the Glacier app as a potential solution. One speaker expresses frustration about the lack of privacy on phones and introduces Glacier as a promising alternative. A key concern raised is the trustworthiness of VPN providers, with the observation that many major American VPNs are owned or represented by entities in China or Israel, leading one speaker to have previously dropped a VPN sponsor over this issue. The Glacier app distinguishes itself by storing no data and offering secure DNS and data blocking features. The speakers note that before the conversation, the app had blocked 830 web trackers on the phone by 11:00 a.m., describing this as blocking "marketing sh-". One speaker mentions not having social media apps installed despite these tracking concerns. The conversation shifts to the burner number service feature, which addresses the problem of phone numbers being sold after use for hotels, political donations, or other transactions, resulting in spam calls. When asked whether users can delete their phone number from the internet, the speakers acknowledge this is not possible, but the app offers an alternative: users can generate as many new phone numbers as they want, available directly from the Apple Store.
