I definitely use a different burner phone for every app. It's obviously the only sane way to use apps. Ive got my email phone. My weather phone. My alarm phone. A phone for each one of my contacts. Right now Im on my lemmy-only phone, with all of the others powered off and in thier separate faraday bags. Having a separate phone just for the app I use to order something is a must. How dare they tell me the status of the order I paid for? Who do they think they are!? On Sundays I use my magnet wand and wipe each and every phone, just to be sure.
Average Lemmy user.
Needs to include "I have no friends, my family are all horrible, and people of the opposite sex don't pay me any attention" to get closer to average.
I realize you're being facitious but as a matter of fact, the Target app (plus Google Play) are the only apps I have installed so far that didn't come from F-droid. Google Play was needed to install the Target app. I figure that the F-droid apps have had enough vetting that I tend to not worry about them too much. I have never installed or used Google Play on my "real" phone. I only installed it on the burner in order to install the target app there.
I confess to occasionally using some of the preinstalled google apps on my main phone, such as the camera app. I will get around to checkng out F-droid versions one of these days.
Look up microg, with that you can use apps like that without play services
