Samsung → iPhone: Need Your De-Google Tips

Note: I prefer Apple over Google and I’m not ready to go full privacy-hardened, I want to find a balance between convenience and privacy protection.

So I'm moving from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly because I despise Google.
Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I'm at it.

What I'm planning so far:

  • Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
  • DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
  • Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on

Where I'm stuck:

  • What about YouTube? Just use the web version?
  • Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?
  • Best way to store photos that aren't big greedy corps?

Questions:
- Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?

  • Settings I should change immediately out of the box?
  • Services I'm forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?

  • kDrive for cloud storage
  • Tidal for music
  • PeerTube/Odysee/Youtube (trying to get rid of the last one but it’s almost impossible) for videos
  • Proton pass for password management
  • Anytime player for podcasts

Apple is bad, but still probably better than Google when it comes to privacy.

Regarding Apple, That's what I feel too, but I don't feel like going Pixel and GrapheneOS or fairphone etc.

But I still want to optimize my privacy and move to open source alternatives where I can without sacrificing too much

IMO, Apple is the least bad option because they don’t sell your data to anyone else. They absolutely gather every speck they can about you to use for their own purposes, but I do not believe they sell. Not nearly the way Google monetizes you, at the very least.

I would consider GrapheneOS instead of iOS. GrapheneOS provides full compatibility with Android without Google, and you can optionally install Google Play Services. Apple is as bad as Google in some aspects.

As for your main questions, these are my suggestions:

Most of these are Android-only, because iOS is still privacy invasive by nature. More software can be found on my list of software.

Cheers!
