    I really hate this shit

    If you have Play Services running, Google owns your phone (and also tracks you, and sucks 50% of the juice for it). Just rip 'em out.

      I genuinely don’t know that I’m techy enough to do that. I depend on banking apps and such and I don’t understand how to get around that. I would, if I could be taught lol

        Look at Universal Andriod Debloater. Makes it very easy to remove whatever you want.

        Your banking apps may not work if you remove Google Play services but i’ve found i can just log in through the browser instead.

        Not as convenient but it feels good knowing Google can’t have any of your data.

        Let me know if you have any questions about UAD!

          Can you restore them if it breaks things too much? My bank requires 2FA through an app for any money transfers, and I assume it needs them but I’m not sure.
