I’ve switched some default apps in Android 9, but they’re occasionally resetting back to the preinstalled system options. How do I prevent it and why does it even happen?

    You should really install another OS or get a new phone. Your current OS (Android 9) has been out of support for 4 years now.

      If you never go outside, the chances of stepping in a turd are none.

          You don’t get malware simply by being connected to the internet.

          If you always stay inside i.e. don’t install anymore apps, stay on known websites, use your own mobile data, you have to be targeted specifically. Most people are just not important enough for the latter.

          That’s how people who just want some basic functions from their phone get to skip the planned obsolescence cycle.
