These are all my applications. Are there any suggestions from you guys that we see this is a very good group

For those of you using FUTO keyboard, have you noticed the swiping getting better? It seems like it has been making fewer mistakes the last couple of weeks and isn't the yard sale it used to be. It is also possible that the keyboard has just trained me to be more precise in my swiping. Just wondering what others' experiences have been.

I currently have the apps on my phone and I HATE it. I'm wondering if anyone has found a way of side loading that can help w privacy, or a way of setting a website app up on my home screen? Has anyone had any lucky with this?

It’s a shame it doesn’t have its own app.

For those who use Mailbox.org and want to access it on your phone, what app do you use to access it?

The reason why I am saying this is because on march 1st 2026 Google is releasing a security patch update and or Releasing Android developer verification on that day as well as destroying backround apps if you have an equalizer running in the background or a music app ! Hard to say but if your not registered with google aka pay 25 dollars your audio app will vanish the second you close out of the app the worst thing? If you pay 25 dollars you can keep the app running in the backround aka bypass the 2 hr limit! This is insane it’s Google literally Killing Android OS that’s why you should either Get a phone that doesn’t receive Android 16 or use Custom Rom none of my devices run Android 16 which is Great! As I call (Android 15) (The final OS update of freedom)

Is there any xiaomi supported operating systems yall know? I want it to be reliable as possible btw

Well we kinda all knew that Apple's Trust Us Bro approach to privacy wasn't exactly what they let people believe it was, but now they're just going to quit pretending I guess:

Good day all. I'm working on starting my degoogle journey and have a query regarding thoughts on options.

One thing is my wife loves life360 to be able to check in on where each other are when we are out and such. I know any service that you give location data to is a security/privacy risk but I saw a couple options and want people's thoughts on them or other options: zood and paralino

I have been freeing myself from google lately, but there is something I just can not get rid of, and that is google lens. What are the best alternatives that are not made by big tech?

All sorts of dark patterns are used to keep users from deleting their data and account.

Is there a way to request data and accounting deletion without providing extensive personal data beyond what is needed to close the account?

I start thinking of suing them...

Hey Google drive, I admire that that when I’m uploading a large folder you know it’s best to break it down to individual files so you can upload more efficiently by splitting the workload among all the files. The issue is, YOU WONT UPLOAD MORE THAN 10 FILES AT A TIME DESPITE BREAKING THE FOLDER DOWN TO 30,000 FILES!

That’s like me taking a large line of people where one person goes at a time, and spending a lot of time and resources splitting them into 100 different lines THEN STILL ONLY LETTING 1 PERSON GO AT A TIME.

I have a samsung S21 FE that i ran the android debloater on a while ago but I am looking on next steps of degoogling

The pixel is so dissapointing hardware wise now, but seems to be the best option for custom roms. Is there any other good combos that are out there?

Im looking for a google calendar alternative that gave me the option to color code freely, i mean put my own hex color codes into events instead of just the color already offered by the app.It would be great if it could sync across devices as well.

Any ways it might seem superficial but right now thats the feature that matters the most for me when chosing a calendar is that one. Ive started recently the de googling process and so far was able to switch emails, map, browser, search engine, but i am still having difficulties with calendar, photos and youtube. I even decided to put linux in my computer for better security, since i was stuck with w11. Anyways please help me if u can, the calendar should run on android, and maybe on linux as well☺️

So last week I posted a question about migrating from a shared iPhone and Android account. We currently use Google for calendar, photos, email, and we pay for the 100gb plan which let's us use the 100gb across all of those platforms. Is there an environment like Google that would allow us to purchase additional storage and use that for email and photos combined? Proton is the only one I could think that would have all of these features and would be easy to migrate to from our current setup

I was looking at moving to Ente Photos but I'd have to pay extra for their storage plus extra for our email provider storage as well. Would Proton even allow us to do this? Their Proton plus plan is 200gb which is 4x what we currently need for photos and email combined. But I don't know if this plan would work across all Proton platforms or if I need an upgraded plan to get the extra Proton apps. And the 3tb family plan is just insane for that level of storage and for the cost as well

After trying to put many extensions on my computer putting a bunch parameters on CSE on my iphone for safari + google I've just not been able to avoid results on my computer it seemed to have worked but it seems like even with my extensions AI results have been cracking more and on my iphone? It's worse those parameters seem to only work half of the time.

My last straw was today I tried install more anti AI extensions but AI results kept popping up, it was long time coming. So for my iphone and computer what's a good engine + browser I don't care if it has toggleable AI as long as I can turn it off and if I can have a lot of the same extensions I have on chrome for youtube.

Nothing better than google map for reviews and stuff too

And the search and image stuff that you get directly from google how do ylu replace this ?

why are some privacy goblins are so concern abt privacy and choose not to use google drive but rather use some FOSS, encrypted cloud with 67MB of free space instead, wth they could just encrypt they files with AES-256 an eat the free 15GB from google???

Greetings degoogle community! New to this and eager to get going. So I don't overload myself with countless changes, what is the first change I should do? My minimum goal is to ensure I stick to it for 6 weeks until moving unto the next (read this in a book somewhere on changing habits).
