iOS is also simpler to use, although Google is working on Android to make it more accessible to a varied group of users. It also lets you request apps to disable tracking which is a great privacy feature to have. Recently, Apple added privacy report to the App Store where it displays all the user data the app is trying to collect. Not to mention, iOS is much more respectful of your privacy in comparison to Android. To combat this situation and to put consumers on the safer side, we need an Android alternative that respects your privacy, does not trade user data for cheaper hardware, and comes with stronger security.
Google tried to resolve the fragmentation problem with Project Treble, but the truth is that, except for some manufacturers, not many are offering longer security and feature updates. While Android is fixing some of these issues, most users are not getting the updates due to fragmentation. Third-party apps can regularly scan all your installed apps, access your clipboard, and so on. Even today, we don’t have a user-facing network permission toggle on Android. These are essential privacy features that are available on other mobile platforms for many years. Apple is forcing Google to bring privacy insights of apps, restricting apps from accessing clipboards, permission reminders, and so on. Currently, Android is on a course-correction phase where it’s bringing much-needed security features and privacy controls.
