Don't throw it away. You can have all info wiped on it, donate it to the military, battered women's shelters, etc. Your carrier will probably give you a flip phone free.

I don't use my calendar on my phone. My calendar is hanging on my wall. My email was just that.....an email from a friend. The notification was from Siri...about a game on Wednesday..........but it isn't scheduled anywhere. It's just something that may happen. Last edited by Joe C.; 10-13-2020 at 07:08 AM.

A few years ago, I took a Microsoft course to understand everything that was included with their Windows/Office package. The instructor noted that while the security software on computers has become much better and is updated regularly, cell phones are much more porous for a number of reasons. His suggestion was to never actually purchase anything through a cell phone. Getting alerts from Visa/Mastercard was okay since no actual account numbers were included. I have found that there is nothing I need so badly that can't wait until I get to my computer. With regards to tracking - If they get rid of Social Security and I get so desperate that I need to rob a bank, I will make sure to leave my phone at home. (poor attempt at humor).

My car insurance company keeps asking me to keep location on so they can track my miles and driving habits.
By doing this every time we walk into a store I get a message from the store who knows I am there and often sends me survey. As a result keep location off unless using waze. |

After watching the documentary "Social Dilemma" on Netflix, I wanted to delete ALL the apps on my phone.

The World Wide Web is just that The World Wide Web with its pro and cons. Back when the “Gasoline horse” first made its entry into people’s lives some still preferred the ol’ horse with four legs. Things haven’t changed much about people today. You either embrace technology or hide from it. Your choice.

If it were true, then what is it about anyone of us, out of the billions and billions and billions of sources of information, be of interest to ANYBODY?
Another subject that is arm chair over intellectualized! IMHO. |

In the past anytime I used Siri I HAD to start with Hey Siri in order to get results. |

Watch "The Social Dilemma". The founders and key employees of some of the big social networks weigh in on some of the techniques they use to get you hooked on social media and their personal experiences.

Apple (for iPhones) and Google (for Androids) put an app on your phone this summer to track you.
You did NOT ask for it and you did NOT agree to it (per se). It's NOT a stand alone application that can be deleted from your Applications folder. Go to settings and you can find it there, called: COVID-19 Exposure. Skip |
