      Private from who? Privacy isn’t some global absolute, and some threat models can be secured by avoiding iOS and stock Android.

        Apart from avoiding stock OS, 80% of privacy depends on the common sense of the user himself.As seen, using a privacy focused OS and searching with Google an posting in Whatsapp, but claiming the lack of privacy (my nephew 😣)

      You can go with LineageOS without any Google services. It’s still Android, but it really is the best you can get unless Librem 5 has made some major strides.

      There are several other alternatives, most known f.Exmpl LineageOS, it’s a OpenSource and de-googled Android fork. More here https://alternativeto.net/software/android/?license=opensource

      iOS isn’t private, not more than Android, apart it’s closed source and “makemoney-soft” like all from Apple, incompatible with everything, except Apple soft. Apple is a nightmare for free and independent devs.

          Lineage isn’t a big company, its a community project, But if you don’t like it, as you can see in AlternativeTo, there are a lot of others. FOSS naturally isn’t neccesary also private and secure (Android itself is FOSS), but Lineage or KDE are at least better in this point than a OS made and controlled by Google, offering good and trustworth products. Use an OS produced in the EU, because of the strong privacy norms, which don’t exist in US products (KDE is German) If not, dont use a smartphone and use an old Nokia 3300.
