**[LineageOS](https://www.lineageos.org/)** | A free and open-source operating system for various devices, based on the Android mobile platform- Lineage is light-weight, well maintained, supports a wide range of devices, and comes bundled with [Privacy Guard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Privacy_Guard)
**[GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/)** | GrapheneOS is an open source privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility. Developed by the team behind [CoperheadOS](https://copperhead.co/android/). Graphene is a young project, and currently only supports Pixel devices, partially due to their strong hardware security
**[GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/)** | GrapheneOS is an open source privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility. Developed by [Daniel Micay](https://twitter.com/DanielMicay). GrapheneOS is a young project, and currently only supports Pixel devices, partially due to their [strong hardware security](https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support).
#### Other Notable Mentions
[Replicant OS](https://www.replicant.us/) is a fully-featured distro, with an emphasis on freedom, privacy and security. [MmniRom](https://www.omnirom.org/), [Recursion Remix](https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix), and [Paranoid Android](http://paranoidandroid.co/) are also popular options. Alternativley, [Ubuntu Touch](https://ubports.com/) is a Linux (Ubuntu)- based OS. It is secure by design and runs on almost any device, - but it does fall short when it comes to the app store.

**Keep your Number Private** | Optional | [MySudo](https://mysudo.com/) allows you to create and use virtual phone numbers for different people or groups. This is great for compartmentalisation. Alternativley, use a VOIP provider like [Google Voice](https://voice.google.com) or [Skype](https://www.skype.com/en/features/online-number/), or for temporary usage you can use a service like [iNumbr](https://www.inumbr.com). Where possible, avoid giving out your real phone number while creating accounts online.
**Watch out for Stalkerware** | Optional | This is a malware that is installed directly onto your device by someone you know (partner, parent, boss etc.). It allows them to see your location, messages and other app data remotely. The app likely won't show up in your app draw, (but may visible in `Settings --> Applications --> View All`). Sometimes they can be disguised as a non-conspicuous app (such as a game, flashlight or calculator) which initially don't appear suspicious at all. Look out for unusual battery usage, network requests or high device temperature. If you suspect that stalkerware is on your device, the best way to get rid of it is through a factory reset. See [this guide](https://blog.malwarebytes.com/stalkerware/2019/10/how-to-protect-against-stalkerware-a-murky-but-dangerous-mobile-threat/) for more details
**Favor the Browser, over Dedicated App** | Optional | Where possible, consider using a secure browser to access sites, rather than installing dedicatd applications. Both Android and iOS applications often have invasive permissions, allowing them intimate access to sensitive data and your devices sensors and radios. But [the extent to what these apps can access](https://www.wired.com/story/app-permissions/) is often not clear, and even [zero-permission apps](https://www.leviathansecurity.com/blog/zero-permission-android-applications) can see more data than you think: accessing phone sensors, vendor ID's and determine which other apps you have installed. All this is enough to identity you. In some situations you can still use a service, without having to install an application, through accessing it via the browser, and this can help mitigate a lot of the issues cause by untrustworthy apps
**Consider running a custom ROM (Android)** | Advanced | For Android users, if your concerned about your device manufacturer collecting too much personal information, consider a privacy-focused custom ROM, such as [Lineage](https://lineageos.org) or [CopperheadOS](https://copperhead.co/android/) - [see more](/5_Privacy_Respecting_Software.md#mobile-operating-systems)
