Do eSIMs have any downsides from a privacy standpoint? - eviltoast

Compared to regular SIM cards.

SIMs are easier to swap if needing to switch phone, but I only see this as a convenience. I don’t see why it would be more private.

I have little knowledge on how eSIMs work, but something in the back of my mind, tells me that somehow, eSIMs are bad for privacy :(

Anybody care to share their views on this?

      What other info can help distinguish between regular sims and esims in terms of privacy?

      Or alternatively what’s missing from thecomments?

      Asking, not trying to challenge you, I’m honestly trying to learn

        Don’t know but OP asked a very specific question and this person gave a very generic answer that didn’t address the question that was asked at all.
