"Years ago i had a conversation with Daniel about implementing the possibility to change the IMEI of the device. He is of course aware about the privacy impact a non changeable identifier as the IMEI has. But there is nothing we could do about this. Neither the hardware provides the possibility to do that nor the law allows it. With the exception Africa. This is the only continent where it is explicitly allowed."
They say you're not allowed to change a number stored in a device that you own 🤣
