So does mine, I deleted it anyway. You’ve got their phone numbers for texting and calling.

Family group chat so it isn’t that easy. On the other hand I never open Facebook so 🤷

Lol i told my family and friends if they want to talk to me they have to install signal. Those that want to talk to me did and those that don’t didn’t. Problem solved.

As long as I could I stayed off of it. Then it became necessary for work to be able to post to marketplace, and I’m stuck with the app on my phone.

I would love to somehow silo it off from me completely but I would still need to be able to reply to marketplace messages from my phone, so not sure how it’s possible.

Sucks, but is what it is I guess. Not changing jobs over it!

I’m in a similar situation, solution I found was using Android’s “work profile” feature. Look for an app in f-droid called “shelter”.

Not sure about iOS though. Anyway, good luck!

Oof yeah I feel that. After my last phone broke I finally was able to get a Google Pixel at a good price and then put GrapheneOS on it. No more spyware

I have never heard of GrapheneOS. Is it doable on a Realmi phone?
