- soco 5y agoWhy not? The only thing Google mandates on Android is that you download them from Google Play (and even that can be worked around). Nothing stands in your way to use what you want for email or document editing or storage.
- spinax 5y agoReal life +1, Google is used for the basic Android setup needs and that's it, all other needs are non-Google services (well, technically NewPipe is Youtube because who doesn't like a good cat video). One key app most people will want is DAVx5: https://www.davx5.com/ https://www.davx5.com/ (also available on f-droid)
- Natsu 5y agoI assume they mean that you don't gain much privacy from Google if you still have one of their phones. See also: the location tracking stuff lately.
- cutthegrass2 5y agoExactly my concerns.
- Bayart 5y agoI use Protonmail, including on Android, and it's doing fine. Albeit I don't do anything fancy, save for some filtering.
