   After having answered earlier today, I belatedly realized that might not   
   matter if the data goes from Lyft to Google servers, even with GrapheneOS.   
      
   So let me rephrase the answer to Jeff's question as "hell if I know".   
   Maybe others with experience on GrapheneOS & LineageOS can add value?   
      
   It's pretty bad though that hundreds of thousands of iOS/Android apps are   
   uploading our data to Google servers without us knowing that's happening.
