I see a lot of people in here shitting on iOS and not Google. Stock Android is worse than iOS for privacy. Unless you’re going to run a degoogled Android, don’t bother getting rid of iOS. But degoogled Android is the best option, if you can.
Stock iOS may be better for privacy than google on a OS level. But so many of the best Foss and open source app alternatives are android only. Like iOS can’t even run real Firefox. Much less things like newpipe.
This. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I tend to think you can secure yourself some of the gains without rooting your phone, but it’s a lot of twiddling and an ecosystem swap.
I loathe apple, but if you’re not ready to dive in, your home devices are where I would start. Routers, modems, home PCs, learn how to set up encryption and redirection to put things behind. Ditch your roomba.
Edit; I did not mean to talk down, sounds like your on that train. Android is linux and adb is awesome (sometimes).
Keepassdx/xc and syncthing have been awesome, rise up has a decent free VPN client for public use in fdroid.
Not really. On Android you can do much to achieve much more privacy. On iOS you can nearly do nothing. The options provided by Apple to restrict data usage are not doing their jobs according to privacy analysis by Kuketz thus resulting in a Apple marketing campaign based on lies that most believe and are convinced of
