I just switched over from Android to iOS.

I have not used any Google or Facebook apps on this phone as my last device was infested with them.

Any good iOS app you can recommend that you can't live without? I've tried to stay loyal to the list on privacytools and the recommendations there, but always looking to take it a step further. I have , , , , vpn.

Also, besides location, what Settings should be turned off/disabled?

Thank you!

@trooper you may want to drill in to the location setting some more. There is a sneaky setting called “significant locations” that is described at support.apple.com/en-us/HT2070.
Not sure your threat model but if you don’t want that location info stored on your phone then best to go in and explicitly disable it. Even with location services disabled that setting stays on unless you are explicit about turning off.
