Making the jump from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly for privacy reasons. Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I’m at it.
What I’m planning so far:
- Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
- DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
- Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on
Where I’m stuck:
What about YouTube? Just use the web version?
Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?
Best way to store photos that aren’t big greedy corps?
Questions:
Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?
Settings I should change immediately out of the box?
Services I’m forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?
I said in my post that I dont like google, dont like the ui or ux of anything related to google.
I don’t like the ux on Samsung either, and I kind of got stuck with this phone a bit back by my own fault.
I don’t think ios is a better solution for privacy or anything related to that, I just prefer iOS and I wanted to see what my options are when I make the switch, I apologize if I offend anyone for mentioning iOS.
The reason for not using a custom rom on my Samsung is because alot of people have been telling me to stick to stock OS on Samsung, its the recommended thing to do for security if I remember correctly (got told this by a guy in the grapheneOS community)
Ok, I understand now, and that’s totally fair. I didn’t really realize that’s what you meant in your post.
