Privacy Advocate

I signed up and it shows that price and put me on a waiting list…

Yeah seen it now 5.99 per month

Don’t you need your mac open for that to work and forward or so… I never looked over beeper

I never understood the all or nothing approach. I use grapheneOS as my daily drive for work, and have multiple profiles for each of my needs. That’s probably all you need, however I do have an iPhone (lots of !y family do imessage and we are sadly in the ecosystem I use apple music for example. I like also some apps more on iOS. Especially for mastodon, but even for Lemmy apple has some great apps. Again I don’t think you need two devices, especially when you use profiles. But I do see why iOS is attractive and used alongside. IPads is another big use, no android tablet comes close.

Depends, the ultra has the spen. Modes and routines are also pretty neat… most of the stuff comes with samsung can be used without a samsung account. Sadly, secure folders need a samsung account.

It looks very close to iOS, but i guess that’s intentional haha

I think missing out is the wrong wording. The samsung has way more to offer, but it is a privacy nightmare. You can, however, remove a lot of bloatware and go with rethinkdns and their firewall by blocking most system apps you leave. Another approach would be combining the firewall with decloudus. I used nextdns for years and tried adguard as well, but decloudus get samsung and google pretty much eliminated.

You won’t have the GrapheneOS privacy setup and will never be able to come close to that. Yet, it’s not the worth way to get a samsung phone behave and not calling home ;)
