I started in March this year, and so far these have been my changes:
- Google Drive -> Filen.io
- Google Photos -> EntePhotos
- Google Gmail -> Proton (not 100% yet)
- Google Translator -> Offline Translator and Mozhi
- Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap
- Google PlayStore -> AuroraStore / F-Droid
- Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
- Youtube -> Before PipePipe but now Morphe Youtube
And anothers changes outside of google:
- ChatGpt -> Duck.ai
- Spotify -> ArchiveTune
- Chess.com -> LiChess
- Netflix -> Jellyfin
- GitHub -> Codeberg
- Reddit -> Morphe Reddit and Lemmy
- Twitter -> Mastodon and Bsky
- I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok
its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good
I also jumped into grapheneos a few months ago. Mostly smooth process. The few google apps I have left to change are on a separate profile. Couple of questions, what phone app do you use? Not being able to identify spam calls right now sucks. Also can you explain morphed apps? Keep seeing people use them
fossify phone, I don’t think you can handle this spam for him yet but it doesn’t bother me because I rarely get that kind of call. And Morphe is a app to apply patches in Reddit and YouTube apps to remove ads, tracking and another improvents. their site: https://morphe.software/
Thanks I’ll check that site out.
Fossify phone is great, minus when my screen is off in my pocket and I get a call (90%of my calls) I pull my phone out and it doesn’t light up, no draw over lock screen, so I have to hurry and click on phone icon to wait for the notification to load.
I really like welefon. I don’t know that any foss apps have built in spam handling though
I did come across this at one point https://f-droid.org/packages/spam.blocker/ but I never figured out how to use it
I’ve seen spam blocker too but haven’t looked into it yet. Seen people using google dialer but don’t wanna do that
