Making the jump from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly for privacy reasons. Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I’m at it.
What I’m planning so far:
- Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
- DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
- Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on
Where I’m stuck:
What about YouTube? Just use the web version?
Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?
Best way to store photos that aren’t big greedy corps?
Questions:
Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?
Settings I should change immediately out of the box?
Services I’m forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?

I hear you, I do trust Apple more than Google. I know Apple is more closed down when it comes to freedom and features, so I could use icloud, there is a little guide to iOS privacy here, also talking about iCloud
You can setup e2ee in icloud

Great tip!
@twikz iCloud is absolutely a good backup alternative in iOS world.
Ente Auth, Adguard + Safari for browsing, Brave as a backup browser (primarily for youtube only. Worked with background audio), Proton Drive, Ente Photos (File and Photo backups respectively), Bitwarden for password management.For anyone curious, I bought a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS instead
