Disable telemetry

CallBro release builds may include PostHog analytics to help improve the product. Telemetry is on by default when a PostHog key is present in the build.

There is no in-app settings toggle today. You disable telemetry at runtime by setting an environment variable when launching the app.

Environment variable

Section titled “Environment variable”

Set CALLBRO_DISABLE_TELEMETRY to a truthy value:

  • 1
  • true
  • yes
  • on

Matching is case-insensitive. If the variable is unset (or set to something else), telemetry stays on when a key is present.
