A shame it is not available for iOS (at least I can see).
Your mistake chosing an iPhone.
If there was a Linux approach to smartphones, I’d be interested. Instead, it’s a choice between two large corporations. And one of them receives the majority of its income from advertising. So that’s why I chose what I perceived to be the lesser of the two evils.
The lesser of two evils is Android as it's like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it's all closed.
