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:
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?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

You said soon but if you haven’t purchased the device yet, a compromise between Googled Android device and iPhone is a deGoogled Android phone, without you having to install anything, e.g. https://murena.com/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-cmf-phone-1/ that I bought few months ago. It’s now my daily driver since day 1, switched from iPhone (after nearly a decade) and since then didn’t look back.
I did 0 tinkering for a deGoogle affordable phone. I put the SIM in, installed few alternatives and voila, great compromise IMHO.
Yeah that is a nice recommended
