I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.
To this day with Samsung s22+
But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don’t even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.
I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:
how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?
I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn’t see it)
surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?
TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android.
Thanks a lot in advance

My main reasons for using a smartphone instead of a phone, are:
GPS Maps. This is something I most probably won’t be able to contribute to, while at the same time, I need it a lot.
UPI (Unified Payments Interface). I can manage with paper money, but this is just too useful. If Linux mobile were to pick-up, I think I could manage to get it supported by the Govt.
WhatsApp, because no matter how much I don’t want to, others, including workplace teammates, will make that a requirement.
Until these requirements are met, I will associate Linux mobile with words like, “next” and “tomorrow”.

Welcome to Linux for Mobile.
The next generation OS for keeping your smartphone private and your conversations (kinda) secure.
It’s “next generation”, because we probably won’t have a good enough solution in the lifetime of the current generation’s people.
But if you have both: enough money to buy an extra fairphone for testing and the time and ability to program drivers, please consider it.
As much as I love Linux for mobile idea, it doesn’t have a lot of apps that people rely, like banking or government related stuff.
