This one is definitely the hardest and is the least mature. Have you managed to get off Google on your phone?

I’m using GrapheneOS (Degoogle’d android) on a Pixel 6a. The irony isn’t lost on me that I had to buy google to get off google.

I had tried Pinephone and Plasma mobile, but it still needs more work and I needed a phone sooner as my old one was failing.

How about you? Did you manage to get away from Google?

    In the UK, banking apps are optional, I can use website in browser.

    With GrapheneOS, you can install Play apps sandboxed and with dummied google apps and control how much of the file system they can see etc.

    I would assume outlook has a web client. Not sure what InTune is so cannot comment.

      InTune is mobile device management that allows a company to enforce policies on your phone such as pin code length/screen locking policies, and ability to remotely wipe your phone. Since these privacy ROMs are about giving control back to the user, I suspect that there will be problems with MDM enforcement software like InTune. I no longer work for a company that uses that software though, so no chance to test it out.

        Ewww. No way would I install that on my phone. It would be on a work specific phone that I don’t give a crap about :). I doubt you can get much privacy on corporate mobiles with that shite :).

          Well, corporations don’t care about your data, they only care about protecting your own :-D Having a separate phone for work stuff is just generally good practice anyway.
