  • Google Photos -> EntePhotos
  • Google Gmail -> Proton (not 100% yet)
  • Google Translator -> Offline Translator and Mozhi
  • Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap
  • Google PlayStore -> AuroraStore / F-Droid
  • Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
  • Youtube -> Before PipePipe but now Morphe Youtube

And anothers changes outside of google:

  • ChatGpt -> Duck.ai
  • Spotify -> ArchiveTune
  • Chess.com -> LiChess
  • Netflix -> Jellyfin
  • GitHub -> Codeberg
  • Reddit -> Morphe Reddit and Lemmy
  • Twitter -> Mastodon and Bsky
  • I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok

its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good

      No. I went from Android to GrapheneOS. Have clients on iPhone. I’m now using stock messages on grapheneOS instead of Google message. IPhone seems to have default settings with SMS protocols off

        That is weird. I recall users having trouble after switching from iPhone to Android a couple years back - root cause was their number still being associated with iMessage, so texts from an iPhone went nowhere.

        It’s possible to disable RCS and MMS. I don’t even see the option of SMS being disabled.

          Yeah, that happened too. I had to go kill the google text app on ye olde phone.

          The only fix I found for iPhone user texting compatibility with grapheneOS stock msg is to social-engineer your iPhone user into checking & changing their settings; enable SMS and/or disabling iMessage format

        I’ve noticed QUIK has better support than the stock messages app. It might be worth checking out.
