Trust me, IT,does work. On Samsung you Root the phone, load software called Odin, you then have access to Google, Samsung app stores, allowing you to download what you want,WITHOUT having an account with them. Besides Apple and Google are in the pooh with "tracking". If people are happy with big brother watching you then great, me I like to fly under the radar. Does anyone remember when the UK Police wanting a DNA database of EVERYONE in the UK ?, just remember one thing, who Police's the Police ?.
Yes, the thing is just cos they ( Odin ) say they don't track you, thickos like me have to take their word for it.In a way it's less scarey being tracked by a HUGE faceless machine, than by a few dark web guys, you have no way of finding or stopping. Just cos I'm paranoid, doesn't mean there not, out to get me.
I am in the Android camp I have a Cat60 phone Over engineered, titanium frame, carbon fibre case, gorilla glass screen Near indestructible, dropped it on concrete several times, waterproof to 5m and USP is it comes with a working infrared camera to help identify hotspots on the bike radiator, pipes not heating evenly, electrical connections overheating etc..
"Android v. Apple ... which is better?" Now there's a debate that could run for years and everyone will be right
