Ive just startee getting into privacy, but i had a few questions.
- I havent switched operating system yet due to fear of losing my data. I have a lot of pictures, contacts and messages i dont want to go missing. I have a one plus and i really love it. I do not want a pixel phone. Is there a way i can maintain privacy without changing phones?
- If i delete google play services, will my phone not work correctly?
- I have been replacing my apps with open source apps, is that helpful?
- What vpn should i use? I have malewarebytes.
you can start by replacing the apps you already use. don’t need to overwhelm yourself and do it all at once.
replacing chrome for firefox is a good place to start. or using aurora and fdroid instead of google play. or heliboard instead of google board. start small.
it will depend on what you are using and how. some things are hard to replace, some has multiple better alternatives.
Yepp! Firefox was an easy change. I use it on my computer! I love the helioboard. But i feel like im making a bunch of spelling mistakes with it😅 Thats truu. I do not like sms alternatives, any recomendations? Im currently using quik and i dont like how clunky it is. It looks weird.
Yeah i need to take it easy i just want to change everything all at once🤣 I changed my notes app, calendar app, keyboard, clock app and sms all on the same day🤣🤣
i dont use sms a lot, so i dont have a good rec here. i just need one that can block the spam, and any will do for me.
Makes sense! Thanks so much!
