Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn’t permanently installed on a phone.

    Does setting your phone to limit background processes to 4 (vs the standard limit) in developer settings potentially have a similar effect? If it periodically kills the nefarious process so it can run something else as you usd your phone?
