alternative to preinstalled contacts ?
So I am not tech-minded but i do have this nagging feeling that Google is just every where, trying to insinuate itself into my life, So I have tried to limit it’s spreading tentacles throughout my phone. I’m not a privacy nut but it just irks me! So onward to my questions . . .
The google logo flashes up as i open my contacts list, so i surmise they make it?
Can i get rid of this?
if no, can google see/use my contacts?
if yes, i presume i need another piece of software to do it’s job, any suggestions.
If they make the contacts is it safe to presume they make the other core components, what can I can’t I replace?
Difficult questions I know but you guys have been so wonderful so far I thought it worth a punt.
Thank you to all who have answered my irritating questions so far.
Android is from Google, and the Fairphone comes with their standard apps. Google has a very detailed privacy policy and you have a lot of settings for finetuning.
