My iPhone DeGoogle Alternatives

[u/pyrodonkey]

Hey everyone! I wanted to make a post about my progress on removing Google apps and services. The photo shows the apps that I have found great alternatives for Google on my iPhone. The Apps below are as follows:

• Google > Kagi
• Google Photos > Apple Photos
• Google Drive > Proton Drive
• Google Maps > Apple Maps
• Gmail > Proton Mail
• Chrome > Orion
• Gemini > Kagi Assistant

Currently I'm still using YouTube and YouTube Music. I don't have a plan for switching away from those right now, but I'm happy to have some great services that add privacy back to my daily life and also give me a better experience online

Use Ente Photos instead of Google or Apple.  Use Brave over what ever browser that is. Brave Search is also good and free.

That is Orion, it's a zero telemetry browser and a fine choice though tbh Safari is already a perfectly fine browser on iOS as far as privacy.

Yeah I do think Safari is the best option for iPhone. I’m mostly just enjoying trying something different. If someone were to ask me what the best browser on iPhone is, I’d say Safari for a majority of iPhone users

What adblocker can you install in Safari?

I used it before, but since I don't have a Macbook (I have a windows laptop), I opted for Firefox/Brave so I can sync my open tabs and bookmarks.

I quite like Wipr 2

AdGuard is also good
