@privacy How to be private with google services and noroot.

I can’t disable google play services for a lot of reasons (school apps, UPI, etc). I have three main google apps enabled. Gservices, gmail+meet, gpay. I have replaced as much apps as possible. Any guide for being private for me?

        It is an interesting question… It seems to me I compared it and I chose Island. But I cannot remember why :D

        UPD. I chose Island/Insular only because it is updated more frequently:

        • The latest release of Insular was at May 20, 2024 and frequency is ~ a release per two months
        • The latest release of Shelter (on F-Droid) was at Dec 12, 2023 and frequency is ~ a release per year

      Can’t gapps act as root on all profiles? I don’t think this buys you anything as long as gapps is installed.
