Make Your Phone More Private

Video Description

Your phone is your portal to the digital world, where all kinds of sensitive activity happens. It's important to make sure your phone isn't leaking all this information about you, and the operating system you use makes a huge difference. Android and iOS collect a huge amount of data from you, so in previous videos we've explained how to instal GrapheneOS instead. In this video we dive into detail about what makes Graphene great for privacy, explain how to get started and what you need to know before you even buy your phone, and walk you through how to optimize your settings to really get the most from your device. 00:00 Intro 01:19 Overview 01:52 Purchasing the Phone 02:10 Pixel Hardware Benefits 04:33 Warning about Carrier Contracts 06:32 Cell service 07:09 Mobile Accessories 07:46 Settings Tutorial 16:26 Out of the Box Benefits 18:03 Other NBTV Resources 18:32 Conclusion How to install GrapheneOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIFBN390clQ Phone privacy playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt3zZ-N423gXV-0pdxnRn-nw0WzVKh4NY&si=PdcEZLPdOs776AUU A great GrapheneOS "next steps" guide: https://github.com/Scrut1ny/GrapheneOS-Guide Michael Bazzel's phone privacy book: https://inteltechniques.com/book7a.html Phone privacy is important, and Graphene does a great job at helping you reclaim more control over your digital life.
