[–] BA834024112@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 years ago (7 children) I'm curious, what are some steps I can take to degoogle my phone? Obviously using non Google apps when possible (browser, email client, etc...) What worked for you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] lemonuri@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) You will basically need to start fresh with a custom rom as google services are deeply ingrained into the standard operating system. Its almost impossible/not worth it even to to to get rid of those once they are installed. You could check first, which custom roms are available for your phone. Graphene, divestos and calyxos are probably the most private roms, but only available on a few models. Lineageos is widely available but will need extra steps to degoogle. If a custom rom seems like too much hasle your can improve your privacy most easily by choosing a tracker and dns blocking doh/dns sever on android. It only takes minutes.
