[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 6 points 5 months ago (2 children) Hello from Android 12 lol. My 4yo phone runs just fine! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago* (1 child) Sick. Any security scares or compatibility problems? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago None I'm aware of. I've uninstalled pretty much every Google app, signed out of gmail acct and am mostly using F-Droid apps since I don't need any "app store" apps. I kept my banking app, but apparently so far doesn't need Google's services bc it still works just fine. My battery, since making that switch, lasts a bit longer without all that stuff running. But FYI, I don't have any social media, and I only use WiFi unless I'm on the road. I don't BT to my car but rarely, and I don't need location services. So 1 day+life is easily achievable! permalink fedilink source parent
