  Don’t forget all smartphones—except iPhones of course—still use Android, which is a Google OS with Google services. In the smartphone world, there’s no real alternative to American companies. It’s pretty much an American monopoly.

    CalyxOS on Fairphone is your friend, my friend. 😎 It’s degoogled and it values your privacy. If you really need an app from Google Play, there is the Aurora store in between. For everything else thete is F-droid and the calyx and guardian repo.

        Tell me what is the issue with the code, not with the coder.

        Still fell free to use a non Android/iOS option, but I’m sure you are using OEM Android/iOS, making this complain blatantly empty.
