When turning off data collection on Xiaomi phones, you need to turn off every single system app and in between you need to wait 10 seconds.

I've been looking at getting a Xiaomi phone but no way in hell I'm running with the stock rom

Haha they're great phones and I honestly love the rom but I hate things like this they integrate...

That's a theme I'm using, I like Apple's icons more than the ugly Xiaomi ones

Finally. A true dark pattern. This is fucking insane anti user behavior
I've seen a lot of people who don't think a lot of stuff posted here is dark patterns, but the subreddit literally has a good definition on the side bar: deceiving users through manipulative design techniques. I'd still call this a dark pattern, even though it technically isn't deceiving, just pushing you hard to do what they want, but it isn't "finally" a dark pattern, I see plenty of legit dark patterns posted here that people comment and say it isn't
Yeah I agree since it's not trying to trick a user with, say, mislabeled buttons or invisible content, or confusing language intended to misrepresent.
This is an incredible level of user hostility, though.
Oh yeah, for sure
Well, calling it authorization and revocation instead of something like data collection, I'd call that pretty confusing language, I care a lot about privacy and even I had to read the info twice to understand what it does exactly.
Yet you bought a Xiaomi phone.
