I read it as paywall and was confused af
“To change your device theme color to the ones matching your wallpaper, consider paying for a subscription”
Someone explain please
Material you changes the android colour palette based on the colours in your background image.
Looks like pywal does the same for your terminal.
Material You: sets all the colours of your phone according to the colours of your wallpaper
Pywal: sets all the colours of your Linux desktop (terminal colours, GTK theme, config files derived from template files) according to the colours of your wallpaper
Worse. You can’t turn it off :/
Wrong.
how ?
Go into your wallpaper and style settings, tap on basic colours, pick one of 'em
Material You is a privacy issue. It gives a reason for people to have a custom wallpaper.Because of the WallpaperColors API, any third party app can use the wallpaper to generate a unique ID based on that
You make this sound mich worse than it is:
Exposes the 3 most visually representative colors of a wallpaper.

Android really needs a sandbox feature for apps you don’t trust (or just any by Meta)
You can leverage the work profile with something like Shelter
Samsung has that in Secure Folder. Hardware-based isolation.
it’s completely proprietary tho (Samsung knox stuff is reaching scary levels of obfuscation and proprietary-ness in general)Or Google…
I’m pretty sure apps can just grab your phone’s MAC address
Are you this insufferable always?
