It’s pretty dreadful on iOS, presumably due to OS constraints. I miss how amazing it was on Android.

  ...then why use iOS? Get a de-Googled Android and relish in the power a pocket personal computer can provide when the vendor takes its thumb off the scales.

    I don't need software freedom preached to me, thanks. And I'm not going to waste time trying to prove my free software bona fides to you. Suffice it to say: at the time I bought this iPhone 12 mini, there weren't really good options when prioritizing {small form factor,good privacy posture,good security posture,software freedom}.

If it was 'amazing' on Android and is 'dreadful' on iOS the solution seems clear. > Suffice it to say: at the time I bought this iPhone 12 mini, there weren't really good options when prioritizing {small form factor,good privacy posture,good security posture,software freedom}. Who cares about privacy and security postures? I'd rather have real privacy and security, never mind any posturing done by vendors whom have shown not to be trustworthy anyway. Mentioning something iOS together with software freedom is as oxymoronic as it gets. There is no software freedom on iOS, you accept what you're offered and say thank you Sir may I have another [1]. Complaining about these well-known restrictions while passive-aggressively defending your choice does not make any sense.
