Note: I prefer Apple over Google and I’m not ready to go full privacy-hardened, I want to find a balance between convenience and privacy protection.
So I’m moving from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly because I despise Google. 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?

Would love an alternative to GrayJay on iOS that lets me cast to tv
Use safari to airplay to TV. It’ll also blocks ads if you use adblocker and skip segments you don’t want if you get SponsorBlock from the appstore.
