    The operating system that Google created to collect your data is secure? Not unless you get rid of all the Google services.

        Android is AOSP, it has no Google at all. Don’t confuse OEM ROMs and Android Open Source Project. As someone with GrapheneOS I can only laugh when someone calls iOS more private

        Android is a very secure system

        Except for the ridiculously powerful permissions you need to give most system-type apps in order for them to function (i.e. read and paint over all screen content) because the accessibility APIs are shit, and password manager APIs too fragmented to be useful.

        Sometimes the policy of “you will use our API and you will be happy” is actually beneficial for users.
