    Hopefully Glance doesn't make it to Europe.
    If they make it to the US, the community will certainly strike back.

    Someone will figure out how to block it. Or replace it.

    This is why you buy a phone from the manufacturer and not a carrier. I bought my Pixel 6 Pro unlocked directly from Google to avoid bloat and shady stuff like this.
