Seriously, why do they use the smartphone in the first place? The smartphone ecosystem, be it Android or iPhone, is not secure. It can not be trusted.
Even if we avoid Apple and Google's software distribution platform, Your smartphone still has binary blob kernel module, baseband processor and the OS runs on top of that.
People who claims secure and trust on top of smartphone are all liar, idiot or both.
Don't use the smartphone.

- craftyguy 8y agoMaybe not perfectly secure, but it's a big step up from the current devices. Being able to physically separate devices (e.g. baseband/modem) and toggle them off would allow you to obtain a much more secure environment.

- UncleMeat 8y ago"Don't use smartphones" is not an effective method of getting people to communicate securely. We've had GPG forever. How many people used it? Also, for the large majority of people their smartphone is going to be more secure than their laptop.
