I know that stock Android itself is spyware.

What tips about setting up my stock Android phone would you give me? It’s not factory unlocked so I’m sticking with Google Android.

Things I’ve done:

  • Stopped and disabled all apps that I don’t use or need.
  • Replaced all apps that I can with FOSS alternatives from github using Obtainium.
  • Not installed things that I can just check on my laptop like email.

Is there anything else that I can do? Thanks in advance

Edit I’ve also:

  • Changed my DNS to Mullvad DNS
  • Restricted app permissions to only what they need
  • Not signed into the phone. I don’t even have Gmail account.
