I only just noticed that this switch is really gone for good on XA2?
What is the status of this switch on Jolla1/C or X (do not have at hands to check)?
I did not notice as the now available android settings (via AD control thanks to @coderus, not to Jolla using a bug or console only) makes it easy to control the android app permissions on the dark side.
Nevertheless; this is definitely going in the wrong direction, imho! No comment on this one
from @Jolla at all.
