I'll never be happy about almost every smartphone user I know happily putting my personal details into their phone, which then sends them to the likes of Google, Apple, and Facebook.
I de-googled my phone and sync my contacts to a trustworthy server. I hope this will eventually be easy for everyone.
I made my family Switch to degoogled ROMs and I self-host all the drop in replacement software BC of this. I just can't get my brother to switch BC hes an iPhone loyalist for some reason.
Doesn't Apple Contacts support CardDAV natively? These sites say it does:

I set that stuff up but whether or not he actually uses it remains to be seen. I know he uninstalled Nextcloud Notes in favor of the iCloud one. Hes really just kind of a prick sometimes.
