Dammit don't make me switch to apple phones, I hate apple. I hate Google too but FFS all you need to do is stay out of my way and the one thing you continuously do is stand in my way...
GTFO of my way! Piss off with that AI crap that nobody asked for
An ungoogled android variant has to be a lot lesser of an evil, no?
Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you're SOL.
It's Apple or Google at that point.
Just use the websites instead of the apps.
But then you can’t tap to pay with your phone.
"Do you guys not have laptops?"
You dont have to switch phones entirely, and you're better off if you dont. iCrap is still far worse than anything Google is coming out with.
Just switch to a different dialer/phone app to replace "Phone" and a different SMS/MMS app to replace 'Messages". I've used "Should I Answer" in the past for my default phone app, and I currently use QKSMS for texting.
