I had read that some countries governments have access to app users shared data despite what it says under app details in Google Play Store.

I have some really good apps that I think I'll probably have to shed. Please advise. Thanks.

As someone else said, you cant really trust digital devices. Any digital device has potential to spy on you.

The best solution is to air-gap everything. But that also makes it practically useless.

My solution is to selfhost everything I can and have those services in containers and behind a vpn. Its not perfect but light years ahead of anything else I came across.
