    How mich privacy do you want?

    Much? Don’t use Apple. It is worse than Android. Google Android is bad as well but you can make substantial changes. Beste would be a custom ROM but that’s an extreme change and way

    You don’t want to change iOS? You have to get rid of many Apple apps but I guess, it’s not possible.

    So remaining: AppleTV, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, defenitely Discord!, WhatsApp, YouTube, Telegram, definitely HuawaiHealth.

    Some of the others I don’t know but I’m sure they should be avoided as well. Use Websites with blockers in browser instead of apps.

    That is the least to do or accept beging heavily tracked

      I use Huawei Health to sync my Workout Data from my watch to my Phone. I don’t really know if i can get rid of it, as its the app my watch works with. (Huawei Watch GT 4)

    Joke: The first app to get rid of is iOS.

    (I’ve been making iPhone apps for a decade, let me rant!)

    Delete speedtest.net, YouTube, YouTube kids and ChatGPT and use either web apps or favorite them in your browser, as Firefox for iOS is really bad compared to other platforms I would recommend you to use brave instead as it comes included with an adblocker which works really well. Also do you need all of iOS’s bloat ? Do have an Apple Watch ? Do you have an Apple TV+ subscription ? Do you use HomeKit for smart home devices and so on.

    Not an app, but one thing I can recommend that is pretty much “for free” is to turn on iCloud Advanced Data Protection, that gets you end-to-end encryption for pretty much all iCloud storage (photos and so on).

    Everything else I would recommend is probably not going to happen (such as deleting Discord) or of questionable benefits (such as using the web version of Discord instead of what is probably the app) :^)

    I see a lot of people in here shitting on iOS and not Google. Stock Android is worse than iOS for privacy. Unless you’re going to run a degoogled Android, don’t bother getting rid of iOS. But degoogled Android is the best option, if you can.

      Not really. On Android you can do much to achieve much more privacy. On iOS you can nearly do nothing. The options provided by Apple to restrict data usage are not doing their jobs according to privacy analysis by Kuketz thus resulting in a Apple marketing campaign based on lies that most believe and are convinced of
