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?

Fair enough. I considered it. Their scanning of people's clouds shattered the illusion of privacy for me and I just couldn't. Probably far better than google, but I'm not sure I personally could class it as good.

    Fwiw they have end to end encrypted iCloud backups now.

    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.
