@Jet Cash is the best when it comes to what is happening in society. He's right about what google is doing on us android users. I love using android phones since the price of it is not that expensive yet the features are better than iPhone has for me. It's not that classy but it's the phone that suites me. Google is the curse, not the android.
So what apps you were using? Actually you have no choice other than using play store or your privacy will be even more worse on rooted custom androids.

The open source Android is a bonus. It's the Google controlled version that is the curse.
But only through google version we can get updates to all the apps we wanted to use.Or installing cracked version is illegal.Now a days,almost everyone in this world having smartphone and most of them are android which is from Google.After the introduction of android we are not much secured as how we are before all our private information are in the hands of google and some third party apps without our knowledge so what you think about having android?
Every problem is brought by android phones right? But IOS can be hacked aswell. The difference is android is an open source.The open source Android is a bonus. It's the Google controlled version that is the curse.

Not sure, but they keep updating they security so I think our private information is secure but it's not certain that some people able to hack they system and stealing and copying the information data from they database but Google is big company with many products, I think Android security system is good and our information is secured, but about third party app I advice to caution with chosing and using some app cause that App may have doing something ilegal like stealing you phone data and other, some case happen in my country because some vpn app, many people lost they money in the bank after using some vpn app, so be careful when chosing app. But actually they are giving everything to us free,why should they have to do for free?

Heck, being able to dual boot would also probably be nice.
I currently use an Android phone coz let's face it, iPhones are overpriced. It would cost me half a year's expenses on food, etc.
Yes, we do need alternatives though I'm not keen on anything from Huawei.
Custom stock ROMs are available but it might damage your device as well so not recommended for common user.I currently use an Android phone coz let's face it, iPhones are overpriced. It would cost me half a year's expenses on food, etc.
The sooner Huawei release their own OS the better as far as I'm concerned. It will open up an alternative to both Android and iOS.
Regardless of which OS you use though, data mining is here to stay and it boils down to which OS and apps you feel more comfortable with.

Huawei might introduce of google doesn't accept them but recent news says restricting huawei will cause economic crash on USA so there will be some compromise soon between google and huawei.

They do the same thing as google does but we have an option to turn off updates.
But I think their system is just like google that whenever you turn on once the updates, all of the activities that you did on your computer will be tracked and saved immediately to their db.
Most of the apps we are using in android are from google so it is impossible to get away from their updates but when it comes to windows we can go without updates for years. But I think their system is just like google that whenever you turn on once the updates, all of the activities that you did on your computer will be tracked and saved immediately to their db.
Do you think that it is better with iOS?
Or it is better with Microsoft Windows that you have installed in your PC? We are leaking information from any device we are using.
Compared to Android,IOS is lot better in term so privacy.Or it is better with Microsoft Windows that you have installed in your PC? We are leaking information from any device we are using.
Microsoft is stealing our information? Don't think so!
The reason microsoft asks you to connect every app you are using with an email in not only for giving access and tackle piracy, it is also for tracking your data and save them in their databases.
You can disable anything you want on pcs.

@playboy654 you have asked a double edged question, and I doubt there’ll be consensus on any answer one gives here. The first part of your question is actually praising android, because of it all can afford a phone so in my opinion yes it’s beneficial to all?. However the second part is the harsh reality where our data is stored against our wishes, and that’s what makes me dislike android phones and hence I shifted to Apple for security reasons.

Weeeell, it's tough to give a definitive answer, because there are some pros and some cons. The huge advantage of Android it is such fact that Android is open system, and you it is easier to interact with it, but huge disadvantage that Android = Google listening you and recording your words and search requests.
I'd argue that ios is probably the easier for users to interact with, it's been a major selling point of apple devices for years and its a huge reason customers are loyal to the brand. And let's not pretend as if apple respects your privacy any more than google does, there's been plenty of cases where apple has committed egregious crimes against privacy.apple allowing uber's ios app to go as far as recording user's screens without their knowledge: https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-iphone-app-secret-access-sensitive-apple-features-2017-10?
and the cia backdoor that was a fairly big deal a few years ago that i dont care to find a link for.
Granted, android is multiple times more invasive on average, apple isn't without blame.

Recently I am starting to be more aware of the bad privacy practices of google , this is the only reason why I am considering buying apple phone. In general I like Android because it has a lot of options and i dont feel like I am being restricted a sin Apple phones.
Whether it is open sourced or closed, android is truly a life changer. I describe it in such a way because many people who doesn't have any basic knowledge now making use of the applications available for Android to make transactions and for different needs. If there is no Android we could've never experienced such a growth in accessibility among the third world country people.
Android gave opportunity to collect all the data from people which made the lot of business to big companies.The consequences of data stolen can be only realized at later period so keep yourself secured if you don't want to face any.
