Ironically, leaving google is easier on Android because you can download and use apps without the App Store.
For example, how is using YouTube via the iOS app any different _at all_? If you had android you could use the app newpipe.
- swiley 6y agoIMO: continuing to use youtube in any way isn't really leaving google.
- olah_1 6y agoTrue, but proxying an app you use heavily to transition to a new platform can be useful. In any case, YouTube alternatives like LBRY have way better apps for android. Element (matrix chat) is also 100x better on android. I can only imagine that android is easier to develop on and get approved, even for more experimental apps like Manyverse (secure-scuttlebutt twitter).
