Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I don’t want any of it!

Next phone I buy I want to start with a clean slate, I’m not going to affiliate with any conglomerate like Verizon or AT&T or Sprint or T-Mobile etc, I prefer to go rogue somehow,

which smartphone do you recommend that has no bloatware and it’s customizable?

    I use a phone holder and my phone sits there with my maps app showing me the navigation.

      Same. I pair my phone to my car’s Bluetooth.

      No Android Auto overbearing Big Brother necessary.

      Seems that guy who loves Android Auto so much thinks there’s no other option 🤦‍♀️
