If the problem is security or privacy then I tryed out this setup:
phone 1 security:
LineageOS or GrapheneOS with SIM card and only Signal installed plus the other preinstalled apps (calendar, camera, calculator etc). Of course you have to keep it updated.
This setup allow me to use a phone for calling and chatting only with my family members or closed friends. With this setup I personally use the phone at minimum, just when I really need it.
phone 2 privacy:
There is something I missed (navigator/maps, browser, wallet etc) so I did a second phone, a privacy oriented phone (with LineageOS or GrapheneOS) without SIM card. Airplane mode always on and only WiFi, everything is torrified. Navigator with offline maps and gps on (OsmAnd~).
With these two phones setup I have phone 1 for my real life, secure. phone 2 for everything else, privacy oriented.
Consideration:
- I would like to have a linux phone (a device like my pc to keep with me) cause i can have real pc privacy and security.
I think the question was not about security and privacy but detox from having a phone to keep real life and connection first.
I thought a lot about this and I think there is something that I would miss:
- calls from my family/close friends (impossible to have a pc always with you, wifi connected with signal or something else)
- navigator/maps (i tryed old garmin navigator but it's crap and maps are updated annualy i think)
I would love to have friends that doesen't care if i don't answer the phone for more that 12 hours but now people are worried.
I personally think that the closest and smartest way to detox is having only a phone 1.
optional having phone 2 with offline maps.
Tips:
- with PC you can emulate android apps if you really need
- for two factor auth you can use a blockstream jade or an offline old phone to keep at home
I have a question for you jack (npub1sg6…f63m) if you want answer.
Do people in your position buy a secure phone for family and close friends? If yes do you trust that people keep it clean and updated?
I was thinking in the future about giving an additional linux phone to close friends/family, just to keep my close connections secure. I want to have root access to these devices so I can update and manage everything. I don't trust their security setup, most of them now have android outdated and who knows which keyboard or bloatware installed.
