(I reposted this bc some applications were missing.) I had to install some apps because of school. Btw, can you say improvements that I can make? I can’t install anything that isn’t from playstore. Edit: Duolingo is now just a PWA

      Huh, if your parents are the blocking factor,
      how about trying to educate them a bit about F-Droid and data privacy?

      Software from F-Droid really is much more privacy/battery/storage friendly. Just open source software, no spyware services bloating up the apps.

      Perhaps after some convincing, they’ll at least allow you to use F-Droid and Aurora Store! :)

      3xodus can help with convincing them:

      It shows known trackers (= spyware) in applications.

      ClassyShark does it by de-compiling the apps and scanning them on the fly.
      Their website shows reports by other users that scanned applications.

      Nearly everything from the PlayStore contains trackers, while nearly nothing from F-Droid does.
