Don’t worry about the app....it’s every node that passes your message through on the way to its destination that will copy your information.
Encryption is the key.

In the past,
The only safe phone was Black Phone.
It was the most secure phone on the market for consumers.
I believe they are still around selling Black Phone 2.
I had thought about one in the past but now I’d have to do more research.

Thanks I will check out LineageOS, sounds promising.
I use a Samsung S7 with Android 8 (9 does more spying). I bought Android Business Calendar app as it is suppose to omit Google spying but it doesn’t even after back forth communicating with BC app.
Yes Google spy and stores every text and calendar entry. When you search for something in your texts or calendar, it goes and searches on Google server instead of in the app on my phone. That is why it takes so long.
Ever set calendar entry to have no reminders? The Google app turns reminders for both email and text popup notifications reminders back on😡
We need an app that deGoogles your phone, that would hit #1 fast.
Gab may or may not have a future phone coming?

Yes I heard that also, hopefully some does soon.
Trump should put out phone with it’s own OS (maybe a Linux) and apps on secure servers in Antarctica or ______.

OK, so it’s a Linux variant altered and released by Google. Is that specific enough for those wanting to be pedantic?
Google is still VERY involved, correct? You are trying to avoid Google, correct?
You CANNOT avoid Google unless you go with an obscure OS, or Apple. Those are your choices.

Dang.
I’m fairly savvy when it comes to computers, used to roll my own Linux kernals back in the day, but that web site just gave me a headache.
Are you using it? How do you like it?

I heard PM was putting out calendar, didn’t hear it was released now. Thanks.
Since you ask, I will try and remember to let you know if I find something I can recommend .
