Ok so I switched to an Android after changing carriers and here are my first impressions. They are a lot weirder to use IMO especially if you really want to go all out and personalize your phone like I do. The interface can be a little intimidating at first but I eventually got used to it. I feel they give way more freedom to how you can customize your phone than any vanilla iPhone. BUT. That sort of comes at a cost. One thing I did notice is that you really need to pay attention to safety when it comes to using Androids. Being the little sheltered Apple pleb, I kinda underestimated the sheer amount of malware some of these apps can pack. Hell, it got to the point where I needed to install some anti-virus protection for my ****ing phone which I never though I'd have to do. It kinda makes me miss my old jailbroken 5C since I feel it had the best of both worlds. Great user interface, highly customizable, and a hell lot safer. So basically if there's anything to gain from this post, its to buy an iPhone and jailbreak it. |

Google Play Store already virus scans any app that gets put on the store. I've seen a lot of people complain about viruses on Android but I don't really understand how people get them. As long as you stick to downloading apps from the Play Store and you don't install any unknown apps with few downloads then you're safe.

It isn't always a virus that gets into the phone. A lot of apps carry adware/malware that **** with your DNS and are pretty much undetectable by any A/V scans. Google cracks down on a lot of these apps but there are just so many so people are bound to get one eventually. |
