Though similar to (and based on) Android, iodéOS comes with a set of privacy-friendly tools worth noting:
- Trust (by LineageOS) is an interface securing your iodé phone and protecting your privacy.
- iodé is an interface scanning your apps in real-time and protecting your data transmissions.
- 2 App Stores are preinstalled: Aurora Store and F-Droid.
- Aurora Store is a Google Play alternative where you can find details on embedded trackers in apps, spoof your location, and more.
- F-Droid is an open-source app catalog.
- microG services are an open-source & privacy-friendly re-implementation of Google Play Services.
- The ‘Google Cloud Messaging’ push notification service, used by many apps & allowing them to send notifications to you, is activated by default. You can deactivate it anytime.
One of these services allows you to choose Google’s alternative location modules. For more information on these modules, please refer to the FAQ.
