Yep, I've removed both of those the second they showed up on my phone uninvited. Even as a non-US citizen, with the current state of their government, I definitely don't want any corporate collecting data on myself.
I've used K9 for over a decade, until at some point work required me to have an exchange account. At that time I switched to Nine, since outlook is hot garbage.

Hey, don't disrespect the cameramen!
