Making the jump from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly for privacy reasons. Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I’m at it.

What I’m planning so far:

  • Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
  • DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
  • Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on

Where I’m stuck:

  • What about YouTube? Just use the web version?

  • Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?

  • Best way to store photos that aren’t big greedy corps?

Questions:

  • Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?

  • Settings I should change immediately out of the box?

  • Services I’m forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?

    @twikz iCloud is absolutely a good backup alternative in iOS world.
    Ente Auth, Adguard + Safari for browsing, Brave as a backup browser (primarily for youtube only. Worked with background audio), Proton Drive, Ente Photos (File and Photo backups respectively), Bitwarden for password management.
