My kid discovered pokemon go and loves it. I’m excited because he’s getting outside and walking around, getting some exercise and not just playing video games in his room all day.
I was thrilled when he asked me to download it so we could be friends. I’ve downloaded it but was wondering if there was a version (or a similar app) that is more privacy respecting?

What about shelter apk + auto freeze setting. Sufficient?
Maybe you could mock location, but i don’t really know how much that provides. Through a vpn or location backend.

Either way, shelter or insular are great for this situation. I like shelter for its auto-freeze function.
I have Pokemon go installed in a separate profile on grapheneos. Doesn’t do anything unless I open that profile, and it’s not attached to any identity.
Sadly, no. And the company has had a past of treating it’s customer base as garbage. So prepare yourself for shenanigans.
I doubt it’s much more privacy respecting, but google(?) did have its ingress game.
Same company. Niantic makes Go and Ingress.
