  • Regarding privacy on iOS, I recommend watching [this video] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHnBOUNxHsw). You can get more privacy on Android with some tweaking (custom ROMs, AdAway, uninstalling pre-installed bloatware, etc…). There are several ways to get more privacy, some easier than others. I know most people won’t even try. On the other hand, with iOS, you’re handing your privacy over to Apple in good faith, but you have far fewer options to take things into your own hands. People want privacy out of the box, but that often clashes with companies’ interest in making as much money as possible (simply put). Some companies use privacy as a selling point in their marketing campaign, but often it is just false advertising.



  • to ensure she doesn’t break anything or end up where she shouldn’t…

    So she uses an operating system that’s near to 2 decades old OS with years of live without any security patches whatsoever? I would say that’s rather more dangerous for her, than using an up to date operating system.

    Just install an up to date os of your choice (be it Linux (Mint) or Windows) and create her an account without admin privileges and some reliable antivirus (especially on windows). If you want to be really safe you can filter her network traffic. There are countless tools for this. One of the easier ones to use is NextDNS even though it’s possible there are even better solutions.
