I've had ios apple phones all my post-2010 life and am thinking about buying my first android phone, what are some things to know before switching? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Relevant details that might make this a headache.

Most my passwords are saved on the safari password manager and I use the “sign in with apple” on a bunch of websites

Thanks. I’m actually considering /e/os (a degoogled privacy focused android fork) But I’m assuming sone of the issues here still apply.

I’m really iffy about the privacy constraints with android and the main reason I’m considering switching is

lack of customisation (for me, torrenting is a must have which apple doesn’t allow)
cheaper. I lost my job due to disability so I just need a more affordable solution than apple.

for the first point, Transmission has a pretty serviceable web client that works great on iOS as a web shortcut

its just occurred to me you might mean downloading torrents directly to you iphone, rather than a remote to some other device.... in that case a web client isn't sufficient, you'd have to sideload

Thanks for telling me about sideloading. I’m now a IOS pirate, until I buy a new phone atleast because my battery doesnt last an hour lol
