      Why? If you’re using android you’re clearly dumb, the iPhone's integrated design makes security vulnerabilities far less frequent and harder to find, with iOS 14.3 and forward, all the apps you visit will have to explicitly ask for your okay to use the camera and microphone. And just in case you said yes and forgot--you'll see a little green color coded icon up on the top of the screen when the camera is being used and an orange one when the microphone is being accessed.

    Great video! I've been keeping my iPhone on version 13.4.1 mainly because of the contacting tracing "features". In the video you mention automatic phone updates. Do you think it's worth it updating to the newest version and opting out (does Apple actually opt you out?) of the contact tracing "features". I'm kind of torn because while I want the best security, I also care about my privacy and view contact tracing as crossing the line. I don't know whether I should update or not.

    • @techlore
      @techlore  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The contact tracing A) Is disabled by default and B) requires an application built for contact tracing to use. If nothing is installed then it won’t even work.
      There is a serious mail bug fixed in 13.5 that is alone a valid reason to update since the contact tracing will not be on.

    Hey, having the TH-cam app installed on my iPad probably pretty bad for privacy haha. I’ve heard of things like newpipe for android, but there really doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of apps like that for iOS. I could just use TH-cam in a browser if I wanted to, or just add the TH-cam website to my home screen. The only issue is the fact that I have 700 songs installed on the app using the TH-cam premium “install videos” thing. I really don’t want to switch over to Spotify and have to manually find all songs, especially because a lot of them probably aren’t even on Spotify. So I don’t really know what I’m asking for, but is the TH-cam app so bad for privacy that I should just remove it right away if I care about at all, or is it okay enough to have installed? Of course this all comes to what I as an individual am trying to accomplish in terms of privacy, but what do you think? Also, is there a good open source client where I can download songs onto? Similar to Spotify?

    You suggested getting rid of iCloud sync, iCloud Drive, Touch ID, Face ID, Safari, which of course can protect your privacy but at the same time defeat the purpose of using an iPhone and limit its potential. So why don’t you just use a non-IOS device then? To me, it sounds like making an iPhone no longer an iPhone anymore...
