On Android: AdGuard app

 

[SeriousHoax]

Can't exactly name one app. But I would say the Android OS itself. I mean, I use some modded apps, which is only possible on Android. So I won't be comfortable with iOS. One simple example would be YouTube Vanced/ReVanced, even though I rarely watch YouTube on Android.

I switched to LibreTube for that, myself. Felt much smoother and fluid than Re-/Vanced, especially for basic viewing with no account.

3 for me: Browser with Adblocking (Brave), Bitwarden Password Manager & Online Banking App.
(Assuming OS comes with built-in functionality of calling, SMS and File/Photo/Media Management, camera, music etc.)

Banking app , SMS app, authenticator app.
All needed for extra verification to log in at some services.

Anything Android (except for Enterprise Chromebooks with SRP on them) is poison to me. Android is a bad deal.
