IOS has DNS profiles.

Yeah, OP has no clue if they think privacy is better on Android.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Saying privacy is better on Android is literally insane, I can't think of a less private OS (talking about the version installed by manufacturers). Even Windows has some catching up to do to be as invasive.

For wifi, I was pleasantly surprised that I could set a custom DNS on iOS while still using DHCP for other settings. Can only set DNS on Android if I use manual IP (or just use Wireguard).

Edit: not true, Android can have custom DNS with DHCP, see below.

I don't think that's true, Android has a setting called "Private DNS" that allows you to set a custom DNS while using DHCP. I'm using it right now.

Ah, TIL! I was looking for that setting in the WiFi settings, since I only wanted it on one access point (to avoid loopback NAT issues).

Does iOS have button to disable camera and mic access all together?
