My #Xiapmi phone has an alternative android OS that I use for apps I don't want to share my personal data with.
It is a useful option to limit and even block the spying app like Instagram and WhatsApp that I (unfortunately) have to use in order to be in touch with people in Ghana and other places.
To my surprise, I found out that those apps are not "off" as I thought they are when using my normal boot. They are active in the background and I get notifications from the, even thought I have chosen not to receive them or allow background apps.
I wonder if I'm doing something wrong
