I recommend these privacy-friendly apps for use with iPhones and iPads:
- AdGuard Pro: Sophisticated ad-blocking and malware protection from this app
- Protonmail: Access an encrypted email account via this iOS app
- ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN: Encrypts your internet connections on your iPhone/iPad
- Firefox Focus: A privacy-focused web browser
- Sync: Encrypted cloud file storage app
- Plex: A private video streamer and player
- Bitwarden: An encrypted password manager provider
- CloudBeats: Play and download your music collection from various cloud services
Happy to see that I’m using some of the applications myself. For example, I use Protonmail, AdGuard Pro, and Firefox Focus, although I use Surfshark as a VPN.
