looking at 2024/2025 phone reviews when i bought my last phone in 2020 is like Wow it's a whole new world out there and it's totally out of touch with my personal preferences and experiences. "this phone has great AI features!" well i don't want that. "this is a good budget/mid-range option" and it's 850cad... that's almost a flagship price bro pls show me the sub-500cad options. "this one has a nice big screen!" ok i don't mind something a little bit bigger than my current 5.8" screen but i will mourn being able to comfortably use my phone with one hand. and nothing has a headphone jack or sd card slot anymore... not that those are things i even use, but i would have LIKED an sd card slot, since i really would like to start relying LESS on cloud storage. Man :///
#ray speaks#i have a pixel 4a... i like my pixel 4a..... but theres a whole battery fiasco happening right now specifically with the pixel 4a#the battery life was not great but it was manageable! it WAS just fine. until the recent update made it Miserable#i do notttt want to drop money on a whole new phone rn and i dont want to deal with replacing my 4a's battery either :(#but it's looking like im gonna need to do at least one of those#at least google is giving me 72cad compensation for it#couldve opted for free battery replacement but i chose the cash option for the most flexibility#and im scared of taking the phone in for battery replacement cuz i dont have a backup phone!!! this is My Phone#so it seems the best move would be to get a new phone & make the 4a my backup#but im still unemployed and i dont want to spend a few hundred dollars on a damn phooone aaaaaaaugh#sooo for now im rocking the 4a with my trusty iniu power bank while i weigh my options -_-

hhhhhhh, kinda lowkey panicking oml idk also kinda angry rn gghhhghshag,,,,,, i just- gwhhwvwjsn
so i only had to go to school for 2 hours today to take my exam and my mom had talked to me before about replacing my phone battery cuz it sucks n it would be cheaper than getting a new phone, so as she pulled up to the school she asked me if she could take my phone to get it fixed while i was at school, i was a little hesitant at first but still gave it to her, she asked for my password incase the repair guys needed it, this made me a little nervous cuz i like that im the only one who knows my password cuz it makes me feel safer, but i still gave it to her and made the plan to change it after i got it back.
fast forward to when my exam is over and im getting picked up, she explains that the shop didnt open until 10 am and she didnt have enough time to take it in (my exam ended at 10:30) i said it was okay and took my phone back. so then i get home open my phone, scroll thru tumblr for a minute or two, check my email, i go to open youtube, and decide to close the other apps i opened since its a habit that i have ingrained in myself at this point,
so i double click my home button, swipe away tumblr, and then i see my messages app had been opened recently, im confused since i had closed all my tabs before handing my phone to my mother, i check my messages and see that the unread texts from a group chat i was in have been read, even though they werent before since im rlly bad at responding to things and i hate texting/calling people. then i realize that another app had been opened, (another messaging app) and thats when i rlly start to panic because i havent used that app in 2 months. now i definitely know that my mom snooped through my phone and since i had already opened tumblr, i have no way of knowing if she had gone through it or not. im kinda scared because there's things i dont want her to know about yet on here, but she didnt act any different on the way back so maybe im safe??????
idk and im kinda freaked out and a little hurt because i trusted her not to go looking through my phone, but she did anyway. im definitely changing my password now (which will be a pain since my current one is just muscle memory for me now) and i dont trust her with my phone anymore. when she asks when i want to take my phone in, im insisting on going with her this time.
TL;DR - my mom snooped through my phone while i was at school since i gave it to her so she could get it repaired. i dont know how much she saw and im kinda scared
hhhhhh sorry for the long ask, im in a weird/bad headspace rn, -🍉
thats so terrible of ur mom 2 do that dude !!! our phones are private and she has no right 2 invade ur privacy like that ! it isnt her right at all and frankly im disgusted that she would do that. it doesnt matter if she thinks youre hiding something, thats still your private and personal stuff in there ! if she indicates that she has seen ur messages and ur tumblr, i think you should make it clear that this is a blatant invasion of privacy and that she has no right 2 snoop through ur phone. im so sorry this happened man. i rlly hope she didnt see everything.
#ask#long post#this makes me so mad when parents think theyre entitles 2 their kids personal life UGH#ty 4 sharing 💖#🍉 anon
