Focusing in the avoid at all the apps that track you, skipping from Google Play Services, Facebook, Amazon in general big tech.
Tracker are lib's that the apps install inside, to spyware you and collect data in silent mode.
To Monitor/Analyses you can you [Tracker Control](https://trackercontrol.org/)
)It's in action on my Phone
)
)With this app you can block some requests from specific apps.
Another way to check if an specific app are tracking you is the Exodus Reports, check this out for [Strava](https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.strava/latest/) app.
)Mostly of the apps you can install using [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/) o [Aurora Store](https://www.auroraoss.com/), alternative option to Google Play Store.
Alternative Apps
I really like this list [Awesome-Privacy](https://github.com/pluja/awesome-privacy) and [DeGoogle](https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle).
The both list are very good to start, For youtube, no ads, no trackers, no sponsor, [newPipe](https://newpipe.net/) is very good, but [Tubular](https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular) is awesome,
)for Desktop I recommend [Materialio](https://materialio.us/), good replacement for Youtube, and no tracks no ads.
For explorer Files [Material Files](https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles) is very good, and have a option to make a internal temporary FTP server, and you can connect from you computer using [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) client and download your files.
To listening musics [Spotube](https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube) is decent but works only for Music, To Podcast[ Antenna Pod ](https://antennapod.org/).
To message, step back and use [SimpleX](https://simplex.chat/), or PGP communication for any messageria service, if you don't have Xmpp server you need to guarantee that use PGP to encrypt your message, but the another people need to learning PGP.
Email [proton](mail.proton.me) is a decent to start, they have a good support and you can download the PGP keys and you, but I still recommend that you learn about PGP and use yours.
