 Are you using a VPN?

Sometimes it helps to switch locations that you're using with the VPN. 

No issues here but it's much easier to use freedom tech on an Android device.

 Yeah I do use a VPN … I hate how addicted I am to this damn phone.
Android is the go!

 Try changing the location that your VPN is using & see if that helps.

I can't tell you how lovely it feels to not have big tech watching my every move online. I wasn't aware of how much I hated this until I got my privacy phone running.

It was definitely worth the effort & inconvenience.

 Yeah … soon I’m going to take a few months off all apps and tech stuff. Just reading and staying gratefully present on the coast with t-Ray where the only way to get signal is by running up a hill, standing on your head, whine scratching ya private’s!!! 😅😂😎🧡

 Haha - I've just spent 3 days where that's what you had to do to send/receive a text. No data meant I didn't even know the Bitcoin price. 😆

It was good to disconnect.
