Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

Phone app, which is com.Android.dialer that seems kind of (F)OSS at least(?)
Contacts app, same as phone app: com.android.contacts
Telegram client Forkgram which is partly OSS but contains unfree stuff upstream + relies completely on non-free service (telegram server +client)
Email: K9/thunderbird android full FOSS
Browser: Iceraven which is a fork of Firefox Android. It comes with the MPL (Mozilla public license) but I think it also contains non-free binaries or assets, so mostly FOSS I would say?

@LeFrog @lemmydividebyzero
⚠️You put the same link, Forkgram's, for K9/thunderbird android and Iceraven.

@LeFrog
Err…
The K9/thunderbird android still has the same link.

This may be due to slow federation of edits. You are using a Mastodon account, right? The federation maybe needs some additional time then
