One way to deal with the current mess is to use a dumb enough phone only for banking/insurance/chat, a dumb phone for calling and texting, and a camera for photos. It’s less convenient but it’s better for privacy.

Hope you don't use Microsoft or Apple products to manage the photos on your Camera.

You have a point. I'll probably just dump them into a HD using a simple script.
