Degoogle + BuyFromEU + Privacy: I’d like to share about my smartphone apps replacement journey:

WhatsApp -> Olvid

Gmail -> Mailo

Reddit -> Lemmy

Play store -> Aurora store (no account needed)

Google (browser and search engine) -> Qwant

Google maps -> Here Wego

Gboard -> Heliboard

All trails -> Komoot

ChatGPT -> LeChat

Any recommendation to replace the following?

  • Google Drive,
  • Google photo,
  • Apple wallet (I’d like an alternative to pay with my phone)

    Olvid

    That looks very closed-source, even though it’s French. How did you decide to pick that?

      1. Their encryption system user to user which is the most robust.
      2. Total anonymity (no phone number to give unlike all their competitors.
      3. I tried it with my friends and family and we likes the app.
