    I've removed some apps because of the privacy setting requirements e.g., access to contacts when I don't feel it's an essential part of enjoying the app's features. Curious to see the results.

    Yes, I have deleted apps in the past due to privacy concerns. It's important to safeguard personal information and data. If an app raises red flags in terms of privacy practices or permissions, and if they are asking a lot of personal questions and bombarding with numerous ads, I prefer to err on the side of caution and remove it from my device.

    Definitely! I got rid of Threads immediately after I saw what info they collect. I would’ve gotten rid of TikTok as well, but I still use it to market my startup

    Yes, privacy is a major concern. If an app doesn't respect user data, it's a deal-breaker for me. Also, I don't like it if the app tries to turn all my settings to get the most out of my information and profile.

    Hello there, See Privacy is a top priority for me, and I take it seriously when it comes to the apps I use on my devices. If I come across an app that requests excessive permissions or collects more personal information than I'm comfortable with, I will often uninstall it.

    Yes, several. Latest culprits was the Temu app. Never installed TikTok, never will.
