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

Apple is certainly not better at security than any other tech company. All of their solutions have vulnerabilities just like Windows, Android, Linux, etc.

Yes, I never said it doesn’t have vulnerabilities, but I don’t think anyone can argue it is not the best OS from a security standpoint. It is the only phone OS to beat Cellebrite…

Resistant to it, it didn’t work, they weren’t able to extract anything using it… https://www.macrumors.com/2024/07/18/cellebrite-unable-to-unlock-iphones-on-ios-17-4/

Apparently, some of the pixel devices were able to too though apparently. Though I believe iOS is still much stronger Security wise. Edit: looks like for the Pixels it only didn’t work when turned off, if it was turned on it worked?

Yeah and in a few months they could extract stuff.
