Interesting that setting your location to the UK gets you EU protections. Do the EU protections apply in the UK? They Brexited didn't they?
IIUC when they separated they basically ended up with a snapshot of EU regulations. So most of GDPR applies. But IDK if the DMA will apply as it was created after they split.
On iOS in the UK you’re not able to sideload on the new update so probably not
I don't think that would be possible in an Apple phone. In an Apple phone, Apple can check where you are by checking your GPS coordinates.
