So…yeah. As I’m moving away from google, I’d like to store my contacts elsewhere. I have proton (I know, I know), but this is also not great, since their system isn’t too android-friendly. Which system (maybe self-hosted) would you suggest to easily sync/backup your contacts?
Thanks!
I said in a foss one, I don’t think the foss developers are conspiring to get rid of your contacts, maybe for apple you might have to hope the developer doesn’t get burnt out, but the android foss community is pretty robust, but if you’re that paranoid just put them in a txt file or a spreadsheet.
that’s not what I meant. but that when you export the contacts, that happens to shared storage, that other apps can see
which apps are seeing your shared storage when you export your contacts?
any that has got permissions to do so. its a toggle in the permission settings for apps that use it
I would recommend not downloading any app that isn’t open source that has that permission enabled to begin with.
same opinion here. but sometimes it’s not a choice. Especially on a company phone, but also on a personal one. Don’t forget either that not everyone here did/can degoogle their phone.
