Better yet, delete your Meta and Twitter accounts

Unfortunately I can't delete Whatsapp any time soon, for a long time I tried to convince my friends to use signal, but I just can't get them to switch. Also basically any handyman, plumber, painter, etc I know uses Whatsapp.

Same but they have text messages too. I just tell them it doesn't work on my phone, which is true because I use grapheme OS and no play store. People also will get signal if you give them no other option to contact you - its free, they're just lazy. Just text them your username and tell them you left WhatsApp, you don't need to ask permission

Done yesterday! The remaining bit is using WhatsApp with family and moving them all to something else...

Getting out of the Google and Amazon spheres is proving trickier but already changed my Pixel's OS and transferred my cloud to a tag digital next cloud account.

Lucky you, my bank still needs Google PlayStore for updates... Aurora and F-Droid is not possible as of right now. Maybe I should switch to cardTAN to avoid the app on the phone completely

why wouldn't aurora work? it's a play store reimplementation, i've never heard of being unable to update apps via it

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't you just use a browser on your phone? That's what I do.

At least my bank requires two factor authentification and uses as custom app for that.

What OS did you move your Pixel to?

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Graphene. /e/OS is European, but unfortunately its security implementations are dangerously outdated. It still doesn't enable re-locking your bootloader.

Iodé.
