I see a lot of people in here shitting on iOS and not Google. Stock Android is worse than iOS for privacy. Unless you’re going to run a degoogled Android, don’t bother getting rid of iOS. But degoogled Android is the best option, if you can.

The options provided by Apple to restrict data usage are not doing their jobs according to privacy analysis by Kuketz thus resulting in a Apple marketing campaign based on lies that most believe and are convinced of
