I am not a nerd(respectful), but I would like to know how you'd set up your phone. I'd like to start leaning into more opensource/privacy minded apps and such to avoid having as much of my data harvested. I'm still going to use apps like Instagram which are obviously horrible but I figure trying to do better in other areas is better than nothing.

  • what to delete
  • what apps are a must (calendar, maps, app store etc)
  • vpns?
  • keyboards?
  • email besides proton? Is there a way to have my emails from Google forward to this address?
  • everything needs to connect to Google accounts is there a way around this?

And yes any other advice on making your phone functional/fast/anonymous/aesthetically pleasing is welcomed thankkkkks

The current beta doesn't have it. I think it had swipe for English only at some point, but I'm not sure.
