Google wants iPhone switchers to know 'It's all good' on Android [Video] - Lemdro.id

- 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.

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.

Google actually has a poor track record with security. An exploit on ARM mali GPUs was discovered in July 2022, was marked as “won’t fix”. Patch was released by ARM, yet google didn’t even take notice until November of 2022 when it was being exploited. The security patch was not released until April 2023.

The best security and privacy one can get is grapheneos on a supported pixel, but iphones are generally more secure than stock android.

[U: Fix coming] Months-old security vulnerability still hasn't been patched on Pixel, Samsung

Google's Project Zero just disclosed a security vulnerability that affects Android devices with a Mali GPU including Pixel, Samsung, more.

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.

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.
