    This makes me irrationally angry. I don’t need my phone babysitting my ears and the notification doesn’t happen nearly frequently enough to matter anyway. It can be a distraction, especially while driving, i always think i need to pull over to answer a call but nope, just a half assed hearing protection measure.

    Does anyone know of any apps or ways to disable the feature on android?

      Ideally disable all the nanny features and block forced updates. If I fucking want an update, I will prompt it myself.

      Copied from other comment:

      There’s an app for that: https://github.com/zacharee/Tweaker

      You’ll need to use adb to grant special permissions that an app can’t request on its own.

      adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
      adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
      adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
