I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn’t the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...

So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

I’ve been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that’s ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it’s quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what...

The first Android 15 beta has busted my tap and pay. Anyone else lose NFC?

I’ve preferred Pixel phones for the last few years but I’ve heard that Pixel 6/7 had 5G connection problems (Pixel 8 apparently has a better modem, but I think I’d rather stick to a Qualcomm design for now)....

While Google Translate has its obvious privacy-related issues, it’s at least a very mature system. The same cannot be said about Samsung’s translator, especially in its current form, yet they’re trying to roll it out ASAP and to as many people as possible....

I am looking for an app on android that can encrypt files. The encrypted files need to be available for copy because I want to use Syncthing to sync them with my server....

I found a few old phones from my family. II cleaned them, installed LineageOS and rooted most of them. On one I installed postmarketOS, one is still stock Android and one is lets say bricked (after installing lineagesos it stay on boot logo for ever, before that I installed lineageos and nethunter on it). One one disk encryption...

I’ve been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I’m going to use SyncThing so I don’t have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven’t been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import...

I explain what I mean with lock screen: not the launcher....

Could anyone recommend a OnePlus 11 telephoto lens attachment? My searches are coming up dry so far.
