  • I never understood the all or nothing approach. I use grapheneOS as my daily drive for work, and have multiple profiles for each of my needs. That’s probably all you need, however I do have an iPhone (lots of !y family do imessage and we are sadly in the ecosystem I use apple music for example. I like also some apps more on iOS. Especially for mastodon, but even for Lemmy apple has some great apps. Again I don’t think you need two devices, especially when you use profiles. But I do see why iOS is attractive and used alongside. IPads is another big use, no android tablet comes close.



  • I think missing out is the wrong wording. The samsung has way more to offer, but it is a privacy nightmare. You can, however, remove a lot of bloatware and go with rethinkdns and their firewall by blocking most system apps you leave. Another approach would be combining the firewall with decloudus. I used nextdns for years and tried adguard as well, but decloudus get samsung and google pretty much eliminated.

    You won’t have the GrapheneOS privacy setup and will never be able to come close to that. Yet, it’s not the worth way to get a samsung phone behave and not calling home ;)
