Excellent. Thank you!

It looks good, but my device is unsupported.

Thanks. By 'ask directly' I'm assuming you mean here and not by DM - if not, my apologies. Yes, I started using F-droid some time ago. I had hoped to root my handset , but it seems tricky to do the one I have. I think I heard somewhere that there's an app (possibly several) that tests your phone for info leakage.

No. Just need to know how truly secure certain apps are like Telegram etc.

Cool. Thank you!

 

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial or even book on how to make Android and possibly Apple handsets private?

I quite like it. No font size control that I can see (pun intended) though.

I think way too much importance is placed on privacy (and I've noticed this happens way more on the Fediverse)

I'm not saying one should deny or disregard it, bit I think it's more important to be aware of the monopolies that exist and the power they yield as regards filtering and biasing of data.

What's more important I think, is to realise how easily hypnotised and thus unconsciously influenced we are in all walks of life.

That's great. Thanks for the clarification!
