The apps on your phone know way too much about you. I'll tell you which apps collect the most data and offer suggestions for locking down your private information.
Check out Hermit and Native Alpha. They make websites work like apps. I use them for Amazon, my bank, my medical insurance portal, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, my local libraries, dictionary.com, etc. Pretty much any website I use regularly.
Combine it with a password manager (Bitwarden), and it’s almost exactly like using an app except much less phone data collected: no location, no installed apps, no phone number, no device or advertising ID, no battery level, etc, etc. Only what I allow the browser to give it (and both of these have settings to limit data collection).
Also, I find it works way faster than some (bloated) apps, and it’s a single install for multiple services so I’m not eating up storage for crappy apps.
Very Light user of Amazon, WhatsApp. Heavy user of Spotify . That’s all.
Edit : very light PayPal .
