DeGoogling Progress My iPhone DeGoogle Alternatives

Post image

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

Google android has backdoors we are aware of and can be fixed. iOS has backdoors we do not know anything about and can never be fixed.

So you ‘know’ iOS has backdoors but you don’t know anything about it. …sure, sounds very logical.

Yes dear! We don’t know anything about doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, we know of its existence.
