Onionphone is a native Android application for anonymous, end-to-end encrypted push-to-talk voice and text communication over the Tor network. No servers, no accounts, no phone numbers — your .onion address is your identity.

Cross-platform compatible with Terminalphone — call between Android and Linux/Termux using the same protocol.

Optionally use your connection as a relay for ephermeral group channels.

Find the release page for version 1.0.2 which supports custom bridges for accessing censored networks.

Extremely annoyed at devs who think everyone has Android phones when most people in the US have iPhones. Making an app incompatible with the majority of smartphones means you have not made an app

Extremely annoyed at users that think everyone has iOS phones, when most of the world have Android. Thinking that the US is the only relevant place means you have serious tunnel vision. /s

Oh and blame Apple. They are extremely hostile to open-source devs publishing apps on their platform.

[-] Used_Gate@piefed.social 67 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Be mad at apple. This application would never work on the iPhone platform. To many gate keepers and restrictions on the OS.

[-] hietsu@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Not exactly true. There are plenty of tor apps for iOS. The issue might be persistent bg process, if this requires one.

Extremely annoyed at users who expect FOSS devs to go through the rigamarole of paying the Apple tax, and getting Apple's permission to have the privilege of making it available to their customers.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

close, but i think what you meant was: "Extremely annoyed at users who insist on feeding apple"

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago

Lol. Your post is pure US defaultism. The US only has 5% of the world wide population. Worldwide Android has around 71% market share while iOS only has around 27%.

Be better mister American.

[-] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It goes even beyond that, their comment is just wrong on multiple different levels

[-] Chaser@lemmy.zip 48 points 4 days ago

Not OPs fault you've picked the wrong os ¯\(ツ)

Buys closed eco system phone. Shocked it's a closed eco system. Cue shocked Pikachu face?

If Apple didn't keep treating smaller developers like shit, maybe you would have more options for applications that respected your privacy and weren't as monetized.

Consider moving away from the abusive platform and then your options for privacy and security will expand. Maybe look for a phone with GrapheneOS support (previously only Pixels, but Motorola models will come with support soon) for complete control and customization.

😂 lol, lmao even 😂

I think this is the most downvoted comment I ever saw on lemmy. Gratz.

[-] mrnobody@reddthat.com 20 points 4 days ago

It's roughly split in OS in US. I fell most security conscious users are android users. Sold might initially give slightly better initial privacy, android is far more customizable to the point there's no contest.

Plus, I buy my phones outright so I'm not stuck with a $1000+ phone in a contract or subsidized phone plan making payments.

[-] Truscape 10 points 4 days ago

This right here - plenty of good android phones out there that don't need contract financing.

Especially now that Motorola is gonna partner with GrapheneOS.

[-] Hule@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I had Pixels for me and spouse. Bot had poor screens (broken / white lines). Now we have Moto phones. I would love to have Graphene on the next one.

[-] MangoPenguin 19 points 4 days ago

Android has a huge market share compared to iOS, plus it's a lot harder to develop these types of applications for iPhone because of apples policies.

[-] Willdrick@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Check the global total deployments, US is not the only place in the world with smartphones.
