I'm trying to move away from google as far as possible. Got my protonmail set up already but I need a way to easily back up my contacts privately. How should I go about that on android? Been using a throwaway gmail account just for that but I want to stop with that as well.

Move to iOS. Apple even has an app to assist you.

You you are still on your stock os of you android phone it's totally useless to escape the botnet.
Install Lineage OS and you wil be fine (if your phone is supported by Lineage OS)

Are you suggesting that OP, who wants to get as far away from Google as possible, should continue using a Google OS?

Isn't Lineage just a distribution of Google Android with low-level Google code still in place?
>>61523333
yes but it's all open source. you can compile your own image if you want.
does this mean it's more secure? maybe. depending on how much code you're willing to audit.

Android is FOSS. You can install any custom ROM and have a completely free environment. Gapps have to be applied individually, they aren't bundled.
It's just slightly harder for normies since you can't use the google play store and many normie apps such as snapchat require google play services. Though fdroid is a good alternative for most apps

Lineage OS is opensource and is supposed to be independant to google (no data is sent to google)
This is possible because Google has a lot of open source code.
Nice discussion you're having there, guys. Will somebody help me with backing up contacts?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
>>61523524
Use google contact because you seem to be a faggot who can't listen to the posts.

There was no answer to my question in the thread yet.

Your question has no response if you use android stock rom.
You can't move away of google if you are still attached to google with your stock rom.

On top of that you are old enough to search yourself like an adult : https://f-droid.org/

A basic, non google non apple phone is the only way to go. I recently got a Kyocera phone and am loving it.
