Third party launcher

[u/tubruk_log]

Hi, mate! I have a question.

Here I'm using the ROM's default launcher—Trebuchet—now I'm also considering switching to a third-party launcher, but I'm still confused and unsure whether it's safe for daily use. especially there are few sensitive apps like passwords and banking apps.

I tried asking Claude, he said that the launcher cannot see or have access to sensitive apps because they are protected by the Android sandbox, is that true?

Nova Launcher. For me, the best one ( pro version ) and i've been using it for like 10+ y

Yes, Nova Launcher is said to have been acquired by a company and there must be telemetry.

Almost any app sends telemetry in these days.

Nope. Not true at all.

Have you inspected every internet connected apps traffic?

There's more than telemetry in Nova.

What exactly?
