Except from Google of course, the worst offender of privacy that exists.
They put all these “privacy” features in so other companies can’t do what Google already does.
If you ever tried using a Google phone without Google apps, you realize how completely dependent almost all apps are on Googles API in the background, and most of them won’t work without it.
I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv
GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

It was a while since I tried it now. I used Cyanogenmod before, quite a few years back. But camera was bad with it.
Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either
What phone and mom are you using? I’m considering this for my next phone
Reminder to everyone to phone mom though. <3
I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.
But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly
Thanks! I’ve been looking at graphene os too
Do you follow Graphene OS at all? What is your opinion on it?
