(I reposted this bc some applications were missing.) I had to install some apps because of school. Btw, can you say improvements that I can make? I can’t install anything that isn’t from playstore. Edit: Duolingo is now just a PWA

    Huh, if your parents are the blocking factor,
    how about trying to educate them a bit about F-Droid and data privacy?

    Software from F-Droid really is much more privacy/battery/storage friendly. Just open source software, no spyware services bloating up the apps.

    Perhaps after some convincing, they’ll at least allow you to use F-Droid and Aurora Store! :)

    3xodus can help with convincing them:

    It shows known trackers (= spyware) in applications.

    ClassyShark does it by de-compiling the apps and scanning them on the fly.
    Their website shows reports by other users that scanned applications.

    Nearly everything from the PlayStore contains trackers, while nearly nothing from F-Droid does.
