I use a Google Pixel and I can’t use GrapheneOS since my phone is carrier locked.
Google play services is likely the biggest privacy invasion I have right now, and I can technically disable it entirely since I don’t use many proprietary Google apps; I mostly use FOSS and privacy respecting alternatives.
What do I do to improve my privacy? I have location services off constantly but am sure that Google play services just bypasses it.
