Help friends #nostr! My iPhone X (256GB) is already showing its age, but the prices for new iPhones are astronomical! I'm considering Android alternatives like Nothing Phone 2a Plus or some Samsung models, but I'm having doubts about Google. Is a Google account essential to use Android apps? Any recommendations for privacy-focused Android phones or tips to maximize privacy on Android? Thanks in advance! 😊 #Android #iPhone #Privacy #SmartphoneUpdate
What is your budget?
Many here will recommend a Google pixel in order to run GrapheneOS, which is very likely the most secure and private version of the android operating system. The 9 series is coming out, so the 8 can still be gotten new for a good price.
With GrapheneOs, do I have to create a Google account as well? Does that OS have access to all the applications? Thanks for answering 😽
No. You do not.
Technically, you do not for any android phone. I'm using an android phone without logging in to a Google account.
It can have access to all the apps, however, some will not work without extra steps and there may be some that will work with some limits, like notifications not working correctly.
It's... A lot to learn. But, it can be worth it if you value security and privacy.
