I have a normal Googled Android phone and tinkered with a bunch of settings so that only what I can’t uninstall or disable remains on it.
If I run a vpn on it then the Googled OS may still know my location(from wifi and bluethooth scanning that it may be doing nonstop) and browser searches.
In that case, would the vpn only mask my activity from my internet service provider?
Thanks in advance
PS: This is a locked phone and I understand that it’s spyware but I can’t afford an unlocked one yet thanks

Worth doing, I’d also recommend looking into ADB and removing Gemini and other google apps. It’s not an ideal setup but perfect is the enemy of good
