Android is a boon or curse?

[boyptc]

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.

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.

I am using windows pc all the time and not sure about the email you are talking about.I never connect any of my emails on pc and I even disable auto updates too often because it sucks lot of data and memory at background.

You can disable anything you want on pcs.

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.

IMHO since phones are basically minicomputers now anyway, we should be able to install whatever OS we want. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

These are the lies that google made us to believe.

But actually they are giving everything to us free,why should they have to do for free?

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.

Every problem is brought by android phones right? But IOS can be hacked aswell. The difference is android is an open source.

but android allows any third party apps to override system defaults and tracking us well.

Aswell as IOS. But both system asks a permission to do so

on IOS it is not possible to install third part apps so everything maybe under their system application but on android we can simply allow third party apps by unchecking a tab.

@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.
