I started using it a while ago. One big difference between iOS and android version. Android version is published by voodoo. Also, because of Adblock, I did not know or notice that it has ads. And my posts are only visible to friends for a day , not strangers for ever.

Do you know anything else , like what data they might collect?

Did you look at SailfishOS (Linux Smartphone) It supports Android App virtualization.

You can disable the most bloat and remove the ads. After that , it is a very good Chrome alternative. If you have to use chromium based browsers. Feel free to name a better one that has adblocking (after manifest v3) and fingerprint protection.

Giving it a try is most of the time the first step. I tried GrapheneOS , used it until my device no longer received updates. Then Google Pixels got disappointing and iOS 14/15 got out with big privacy changes, so I switched the first time to Apple. I know, ironic , but it works for me. I remove most permissions from apps, use my own DNS block list enforced by MDM and if possible, self host my apps and services or use paid / open source ones. I am here on Lemmy instead of Reddit or Instagram…. I also tried Jollas SailfishOS v3 , it was ok, but this was back at the time very limited for social interactions, now with v5 it would have been better. Also good to know, at my place , Apple Pay is one of the most secure and private pay systems…. I hate that, this feels wrong.

Tried the Privacy Activist and Enthusiast section. Was not really fun and you loose connection to most of your friends and family. Now I have a balanced setup with something out of each layer. Perfect balanced, as things should be
