It'd be interesting to have an app to measure that!

I'm running GrapheneOS, so out of 82 apps on my phone only 10 packages aren't open-source. These include social media, messaging, banking, and Google Play Store/services. So around 88% FOSS.
I only use proprietary software on my device if there doesn't exist a FOSS alternative*.
*I know there are open-source options for social media/messaging but I don't really consider having to convert my whole social circle to a new platform to be a viable alternative.
yeah I also do the same. I still use Dawn (Reddit) while also using Jerboa because the communities there are much larger, etc. so yes I totally agree
I have 22 apps in total, including system apps, and excluding Apple apps (I have an iPhone) I have 15. I think about 9 of my apps are open-source, so…
If you count the Apple apps: 9/22 = ~0.409 (~40.9%).
If you only count non-system apps: 9/15 = 0.6 (60%).
I do plan on getting rid of some apps soon though, so it’s subject to change.
Edit: Fix formatting.
I have 50 apps total.
Of the 50, 17 are system apps that can’t be removed (iPhone), leaving me with 33 apps that I’ve installed.
Of the 33 installed apps, 17 are self hosted and/or fully or partially open source apps & services, which works out to 51%
Edit to add: I choose open source whenever possible.
me too. open source software is the most privacy respecting and in a ton of cases it has more/better features.
I’m guessing a lot of it seeing how tons of apps use open source components and libraries whenever possible.
I have 284 apps including system apps and excluding system services. With system services, it's 567. I counted 186 explicitly installed.
It's hard to tell which ones are open source, as not all of those are from F-Droid.
I counted 48.
So roughly 25% of what I installed.
My hardware 0%. My software well i got a foss os and mostly use foss apps but have some non-free apps i need cos other people are not enlightened and i still need to communicate with them. An estimate maybe 80-90% foss.
Ik u asked about non privacy respecting phones but i had to weigh in anyways. (On google pixel with graphene os and find most my apps on fdroid)
I have a Samsung S22 Ultra. I just have firefox on it... so I dunno. Like zero percent probably.
