    The operating system that Google created to collect your data is secure? Not unless you get rid of all the Google services.

        Android is AOSP, it has no Google at all. Don’t confuse OEM ROMs and Android Open Source Project. As someone with GrapheneOS I can only laugh when someone calls iOS more private

            When I hear Android, I think of Android. And that word encompasses everything imo. That’s how most people use the word in my experience.

            If someone means AOSP specifically, they’ll say AOSP

              exactly. i think the term ‘android’ should be used as an umbrella term only, like linux.

              “im running linux”

              yeah but what distro? same with android

            Exactly, but it’s inexcusable when a tech discussion happens. You either know it, or dare to shut up (not you precisely, though). Don’t be a hypocrite, only facts.

          I don’t confuse anything. All flavours of Android are secure systems, but that doesn’t mean they’re all private.

          I definitely agree with you that Graphene is more private than iOS, which is probably more private than most OEM Android systems out there.

              So, originally I simply stated that privacy and security aren’t the same, and that Android as a whole is very secure.

              And from this, you somehow extrapolated that I don’t know the difference between AOSP and OEM Systems?

              Enlighten me.
