Looking for an answer more detailed than just switch to pixel and use graphene or calyx.
What are the recommended changes to use in the Settings App to make Apple more secure and private? Should I just use the Safari browser due to all the browsers being the same as they all use WebKit
I’m looking for suggested changes to staying minimal but increasing privacy and security on iPhone
But you cannot download a VPN app without reveal your real IP address for Apple at least once and wanting or not your will need a iCloud ID. And Apple devices is know that they van bypass VPN connection in some cases. Who ensures you that Apple will not retain your IP address.
It doesn’t matter. Your IP adresse is dymanic, and your IP adresse alone is basically worthless.
Interesting. Have any resources to learn more about this? Don’t people get caught doing illegal things based on their IP address?
Let’s say I make a profile on social media that has no personally identifiable data on me. How else would they track me?
Yeah IP’s are just a fraction of the whole fingerprint process nowadays but I didn’t want Apple store ANY IP the could be used to link to me. I personally don’t trust Apple.
You could create the account with public wifi if your threat model is that high

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Step 1: don’t use iCloud services; use WiFi Sync with a computer for syncing and backups. Step 2: turn on Lockdown Mode if this works for you. Step 3: limit the number of apps you install. Step 4: set up VPN to your own network and run a PiHole or similar to filter access.
For most people, this is more than enough guidance.

Can’t you use iCloud services enabling the end to end encryption?
adespoton@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
If you do, you have to be very careful. SOME data is encrypted at rest in iCloud, not all. It doesn’t matter if it’s encrypted in transit if it’s readable on the servers. Also, while some iCloud services are encrypted remotely against your private key, other services can also be decrypted by an Apple support key.
You can go through each service to ensure it (currently) fits your privacy needs, or you can just go with the basic rule that data managed by others is not private.

wifi sync?
adespoton@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Plug in an iPhone to a Mac (or Linux or Windows with third party sync software) and you can set up Wifi syncing. Then as long as the two devices are on the same network, full encrypted backups and file/media syncing will be done.
