Why open source apps ?
Installing open source apps on Android devices offers several advantages, ranging from enhanced privacy and security to greater control over software customization plus going ads free. Here's a detailed look at why you might consider using open source apps on your Android device:
Transparency
Open source apps have publicly available source codes that anyone can inspect, modify, and distribute. This transparency allows users and developers to examine the code for security vulnerabilities, bugs, or malicious elements, ensuring a higher degree of trustworthiness and security when compared to closed-source software where the code is hidden and controlled by a single entity. Another important part is that most of the FOSS apps are not displaying annoying ads!
Privacy
Open source apps often prioritize user privacy. They typically collect less personal data than proprietary apps, and any data collection will be clearly documented in the open source project's details. For those concerned about data privacy, open source offers a more controllable environment regarding what information is shared and how it is used.
Customization
Open source apps allow for greater customization. Since the code is available to everyone, technically skilled users or developers can modify aspects of the app to suit their personal or organizational needs better.
Community Support
Open source projects benefit from the support of a community of developers and users who continually contribute to the development, debugging, and enhancement of the app
