In the past, I've heard about how Google can keep records of all your Google phone's past locations and text messages.

What about RCS messages which supposedly are encrypted from Android to Android? I know that it's possible that they secretly keep a log behind the scenes, but as far as the regular consumer knows is there any record being kept with regard to the contents of these RCS messages?

Who mentioned linux?

linux is the only alternative to android when it comes to computing. I consider ms-windows a non-option.
