This one is definitely the hardest and is the least mature. Have you managed to get off Google on your phone?

I’m using GrapheneOS (Degoogle’d android) on a Pixel 6a. The irony isn’t lost on me that I had to buy google to get off google.

I had tried Pinephone and Plasma mobile, but it still needs more work and I needed a phone sooner as my old one was failing.

How about you? Did you manage to get away from Google?

    Their delayed implementation of this has definitely affected my confidence in them. I was very close to considering Apple before that, but when someone shows you their true colours, believe them :).

      I mean is there any other phone that offers end-to-end encrypted backups? Also they don’t scan your cloud but they will turn it over with a warrant. Same as any other cloud storage provider. If you cared about privacy you’d use local backups on your computer or now end-to-end encrypted backups with iCloud.

        If they can turn it over, then it isn’t exactly end to end encrypted… You don’t own the keys.

        I’ll just avoid the cloud… the cloud… is just someone else’s computer…
