    Then I would see if your phone supports lineage OS since it doesn’t come with Google Play Services and Google Apps by default.

    I haven’t had a phone with Google Apps or Google Play services on it since 2019 and it works perfectly well.

    Actually, I’d say it even works better, because then you don’t have all that spyware draining your battery and taking up system resources. So, I can make do with a cheap phone and get good performance out of it.

      Fair phone 4, I know it supports e/OS and you can even buy some of their phones with that installed. PostmarketOS is another but I don’t think everything works properly.
