You need to install an android ROM without google services. Otherwise, it's like running your phone with a giant virus or backdoor with access to everything on your phone.

Check if your phone is supported by lineageos or some other ROM like grapheneOS, /e/ (yeah, I know, terrible name), ...

I LOVE /e/OS GRAAAAAH

I know about custom ROM without google (Actually everybody know 😅).But I am not interested I think I have arch setup on PC then why wasting time on setting up mobile when I am never gonna use it that way I just wanted a bit freedom BY some tweaking some settings but now I think google is far more dangerous than U can ever think of

Have a nice day,Namaste.

Gee... maybe you can still find a Nokia 3210. Long battery life, no Google services. I use my phone without a google account just fine. Were i to care more i'd use a custom ROM. I just might, warranty's expired anyway. What does arch on desktop have to do with android on mobile?

With arch on pc I meant to say that I dont want to spend too much time setting up my phone.
