Hi. I just got a new phone (Motorola) and spent a bunch of time manually removing access to location etc. I hate Google so much, "don't do evil" my ass. I'm just looking for my blindspots. Im not in tech so, what should be disabled to keep my phone private?

Typing this out using HeliBoard now. So far so good, thanks!🔥

It works well with the additional Swipe library, too (which is unfortunately not a FOSS library).

Why Heliboard over FUTO Keyboard? FUTO makes Immich too.

I used to use FUTO keyboard but I know they had some weird controversies about licensing and such so I figured the safer move would be HeliBoard. FUTO was nice too though
