I guess i need to suffer the consequences now, and be mindful of how i use it. It’ll be a while before i change phones, although at $300 bucks, a new Brax3 is an option and a possibility. The learning curve for me on a de-googled, privacy phone has been steep and a bit frustrating. Im still learning how to use it, as you can tell. I’m still using my original iPhone 8, replaced the battery and glass once, i find it revolting to spend $1000 - $1500 for an item that costs a handful of dollars, and is made in China on the cheap, for me to pay those prices. ---

I think the Google apps harvest your phone number and IMEI number. U are probably still ok with this privacy phone! ---

The iodê blocker should prevent apps from harvesting anything off your phone!👍🏼 This is mine and everything reinforced!! ![Screenshot_20260613-124837_iodé](https://community.braxtech.net/uploads/default/original/2X/2/21e25d8e0707483d512b5d4301067815a0277612.png) ---

Thanks for the tip Lazarus, i had a mix of “Standard” and “Reinforced” for my apps, i just toggled to “All Apps Reinforced”. Lets see how it goes, thanks again. ---

Just remember that some of your apps may stop working. If that happens go back here and put that app on standard again if there isn’t a way to get to your account using the web browser! ---

Hopefully i didnt flag that post, didnt mean to. I thought if i signed into my X acct it would be ok bc of the MicroG. Not even x acct in a browser only? I don’t care about google anything. I would like my spotify acct if possible. What if these two accounts were in a shelter? Or is it in the signing in \>defeats the purpose? And i used my previous sim card so there’s that. Thank you for your help! The switch from apple has been difficult at best. I do what i can\>ask Ai some, until i am fed up & put it down. I will limp along until l cant take it and start back up!😵‍💫✌ [Previous page](https://community.braxtech.net/t/switching-phone-to-brax3-setup-example/2556.md?page=2)
