My question is, if Mobile BraveBeta app or Nightly version sending by default data to Brave. Because those two are different instances from main version, I use them to log in on different accounts or for PWA.
@Jaki all versions of Brave send some data by default. Keep in mind it’s all privacy preserving though and nothing personal. You may want to read through https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/9140465918093-What-is-P3A-in-Brave and/or https://brave.com/privacy/browser/
To see specifically what data, it’s https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/P3A
Presumably, and I very much hope, this is not the case if the 3 data buttons are all switched off in Settings/Privacy/Data Collection?

@Saoiray this page here says how to turn off crash reports but it does not apply to Brave Beta for Mobile because there are no such settings
"
How to switch this feature off. You can switch off “Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Brave Software” in settings.
Tip: you can quickly access settings by copying brave://settings into your address bar. "
Also I haven’t seen somewhere that you collect MAC address or phone number or device model. Brave doesn’t collect those info?

@Jaki it’s been the weekend when Support doesn’t work. I’m assuming someone like @Mattches will be able to answer you when they get back to work and settled in. Since I don’t have my Android anymore, I try to be careful on answers. I can’t open menus and take a look, so would rather just wait for people from Brave to give definitive info.

All the relevant privacy settings concerned here are in Menu —> Settings --> Brave Shields & Privacy. I believe that the Send private usage pings may be on by default, the other two are not.
@Mattches I see. What applies for Mobile apps? Such us Brave, and Brave Beta?
I think at the startup it shows two optional checkboxes for that. In settings I don’t see any option
