The bigger picture is more than a government installing apps on your phone. The issue is someone other than you can install apps with unlimited access on your android phone.
Foreign government, your government, your employer, a work colleague, a competitor, your spouse ... the list goes on
The security and privacy on an iPhone is greater and comes at a flexibility factor.
- Crinus 7y agoThese apps are not installed by themselves, someone with physical access to the phone is installing them (if we include remote installs then anything that autoupdates - including iPhone - can also install software). And it isn't a matter of flexibility, it is a matter of utility: others not being able to take your phone from you and install apps also means you not being able to do it either.
