Well, I'm not familiar with iOS design. I only know the classic bar at the bottom of iPhones and find the usage really difficult for me. On the Fairphone, I had the choice between Android or iOS design, and I chose Android. The interface works like Android.
I don't think the design is terrible either. Though I suppose it's a matter of taste.
It's great that you're boycotting all of that. And I also hope more people switch from Google. I talk about it constantly.
To your question: Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. Sorry. I'm still exploring the system myself. Maybe you could create a post in the Fairphone community.
I never try it, but I dont think so. When it comes to location, I'm really clueless. I meant Instagram, TikTok, even Lemmy. Sorry I kind of sidestepped your actual question. I meant it in general.
No no. It's not a downgrade. When it comes to privacy, Organic Map definitely progress. I wouldn't use Google Maps even if it teleported me to the place. It's just different, like you said. Took some getting used to, like I said, but that's for anything new. It's easy for me right now to use it. Most people aren't just ready to give up comfort though, and I see that every single day. 🙁
Hey! I tried it, but my phone opened the camera instead of the flashlight. But yeah still awesome =D
Ah yes, that's true. I know that problem too. My family doesn't use it either. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Ah, sorry. I don't have experience with that myself. Its my first Fairphone with e/OS. Maybe someone else in the community has tried this and can share their experience?
Ah, I didn't even know about that EU law. The Fairphone is the first phone I actually bought myself, so it wasn't obvious to me.
Anyway, the battery life is really good. Though it depends on how many apps you have running in the background. I don't have that many right now.
About the price: With everything included, it was definitely more than 600€. With the headphones, case, and screen protector, the price naturally went up. But I'd been saving since the beginning of this year, so I didn't break a sweat. The news that Google was going to close down Android was basically the kick in the ass I needed to step on it.
Final word: It's expensive. But for me, it was worth it😊 Hope I could help you a little bit with your decision
I saw the link. its really cool. For now, all my apps are on one page, and it works fine for me. But later I can try. Thx😊
Aaaah, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood. Unfortunately, I can't help you😟. I don't use these kinds of apps at all.
Thanks for the warning. I knew Klarna has a bad reputation but I didn't know this detail. Anyway, it was really just a one-time thing. My sister used her Klarna account for it. We unfortunately couldn't pay it any other way.
But seriously, it's a shitty Show, what they're pulling there.
Thank you again.🌹
WOW! That's impressive
Peace be with you, Proton Community, 🌹
I was trying to find out which search engine Lumo uses in the background. To do this, I used the official contact form here: https://proton.me/support/contact?topic=lumo.
Unfortunately, I later realized that the official site lists "protonmail.zendesk", not "protonme.zendesk". The domain "protonme.zendesk" looks suspicious, and many sites online report it as a phishing attempt.
I have already taken security precautions on my end, but I want to be absolutely sure before I report this domain as malicious. Has anyone else seen this? Please let me know if you think this is phishing. And i hope you can answer my question about the search engine 😁
Thanks for the help.
UPDATE 30.06.2026 : The domain is real! I'm really happy about this. Why am I so sure this time? Call me paranoid, but I created a new account, switched devices, sent an email using mobile data🤣. I literally got a racing heart when this time that email came through "protonmail", but I write everything, send him the screenshot and the supporter says : "Its real"
Thanks to everyone who wrote back, and sorry if I wasted anyone's time. One of the main reasons I wanted to be sure was my website. I didn't want to publish false information about Lumo's web search. No its time for my update 😁 Thank you all again.
And by the way, Lumo just got an update where it can generate images. How cool is that?
Peace be with you🌹🌹🌹🌹
That's wonderful. I've also deGoogled myself and bought a Fairphone with e/os. I hope many others will also disconnect from Google.
