My device is a oneplus 6t (oos 10.3.5) and I was unable to uninstall google photos app with my usual app remover and tried this one. sadly after selecting just the google photos app to be removed it asked to reboot so I did and boom stuck in the fast boot mode after hanging on the unlocked bootloader screen a bit longer than usual

I currently have twrp recovery so I just reflashed the ota and I am currently back up and running but for future reference what could have caused this and how exactly does the app work/ what does it remove/ how does it work?

titanium backup said it was unable to locate the apk when I tried uninstalling it through it so maybe it has something to do with how the app was installed on the system.

Why is the app calling 142.251.33.106:433 and 142.251.33.74:443 sketchy for a root app???? Be careful if you install this app. Did a look up on the ip address and it's google servers so the app calling google.

While I looked through your code to remove the trackers for this issue: #5
I discovered that you use firebase and gms but do not request the internet permssion.

I don't know you, but your code is incredible. Is great project and idea. Because I found the idea of uninstalling very interesting. Being close to the idea of just-delete-me, the idea of distancing ourselves from technology, applications and online accounts.

This app worked fine on my old phone but not on my new one; after rebooting the apps are still there.
Old: Xiaomi Mi A1 on Android 8
New: Moto G 5G plus on Android 10

Both have up-to-date Magisk. Let me know if you need more info.

I created a "tracker-free" version of the dev branch, see #4
Now I'd like to add this app to F-Droid. Currently the F-Droid source code is linked on my repository but if the pull request will be merged in a new branch, I switch the link to source code.
Here is the matching merge request on GitLab for adding this app to the official F-Droid catalogue: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/6915
