I’m not buying a phone that rats me out.

Show me you have my back apple / android

They don't. If you're going to have a smart phone and don't want them up in your shit get LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

Only solution is an older phone with custom ROM

@hydra @Shartacus or a linux phone, with kaios / pmos. Still not ready for everyone, but I hope it will come soon enought

FYI KaiOS is spyware garbage moreso than stock Android w/ gapps. Download a GSI rom if you want to run stock android on most phones post Android 8.1

@stratosmacker ho I have learn about this system only a few days ago and had no time to look further. That explain why they advertise with so much google app... thanks for the info :)

Sadly not too many options where I live.

If there is a custom ROM on it anyway, why would it need to be older?

Newer phones are harder to get custom ROMs on and most of them don't have them.
