I suppose that depends on the phone you have, on F-droid that is easy to find with limited permission use

Though yes, an image search would work perfectly well

Yeah I'll take an F-droid recommendation as proof of my case. Not many people are doing even that amount of side loading even on Android and forget it on iJewelry. We certainly have arrived in a place, haven't we?

Why take it as proof of anything? I wouldn't know about google play alternatives as I havent launched that in years, and I've never had an iPhone, I only answered to the extent of my experience

Why talk about anything with anyone at any time?

I haven't bothered with F-Droid because at this point I either use apps that aren't in open source repos, like my credit union's app, the built-in apps like the camera, or I just use the web browser. Because the whole "app" ecosystem on any platform is more about exploiting me than being useful. "There's an app begrudgingly for that."
