I’d like to install xprivacy to comply with european DSGVO. Using my phone for business my customers’ personal data is stored in my contacts. Using WhatsApp I am no longer compliant.
But xprivacy requires root access to the operating system. Do I just have to install xprivacy - i can get in on play store - or do i have to root the mobile first using any other device?
Do I loose any warranties from fairphone when I do so?
Thanks for helping me

As you might expect, it’s a bit more complicated… For (the old) xprivacy you have to use xposed module, which is probably not easy to install. (You have to have a recovery that lets you install zip files. I’m on LOS now for quite some time, so I can’t say how difficult this might be)
The newer xprivacy.lua might be easier, but then, you also might have a look at Island, which lets you install apps in a sandbox. You could install WhatsApp in that sandbox and only put the contacts you need for WA in the contacts of the sandbox.
