- Google’s latest advertising campaign, encapsulated by the tagline “It’s all good with Google on Android,” is aimed at persuading iPhone users to switch to Android by emphasizing the simplicity and worry-free nature of the process.
- The campaign focuses on four areas: Privacy & Security, Emoji Reactions, Transfer Photos, and Device Compatibility, with each topic conveyed through short 15-second YouTube video ads.
Reminding users on a platform that prioritizes privacy that Android is an extension of an ad tech company is going to win anyone over.
Isn’t Apple involved in ads too?

In my use of iOS it was harder to avoid ads, since apps didn’t have a warning like ‘Contains ads’. And it not allowing side loading meant it was harder to find foss alternatives. Of course compared to Android they are way better when it comes to privacy, but I’m sure how truly private they are since they are collecting data all the same.
Apple is very much becoming more and more into gathering data for it’s own ad business. They are pushing the privacy thing now and forcing out most ad competition so they can come in and dominate on their platforms

Out of curiosity I checked the Privacy and Security Video they focus on protecting you from other apps which is okay. The question is who protects you from Google?
Custom rom developers?
c/degoogle?

You must be taking market advertisement at face value if you think iOS is private lol.
Apple does tend to do better when it comes to privacy and reigning in app developers. Google tends to do better on security, with privacy taking a backseat.

That’s gonna be a no from me. Both suck extremely when it comes to privacy. On Android you can at least do something about it.
Which device/build are you running? I’d like to run without Play Services at some point but the last I saw, it wasn’t very frictionless. Degoogling is on my to-do list.
Well, I wouldn’t follow my lead exactly unless you’re into tinkering and debugging, I run an entirely 3rd-party OS called SailfishOS and while it’s very good, you have to know how to work with Linux fairly well.
But I heard only good things about e/os, so maybe that? You should probably check with someone who uses deGoogled Android first, though.

Yeah, I’m gonna need some source on that. I’d like that source to not be Apple marketing campaign, though. Honestly, even Android with Google spyware is better in this regard, because you can at least do something about the tracking (like Adguard and apps that work on similar principle).
