I have a normal Googled Android phone and tinkered with a bunch of settings so that only what I can’t uninstall or disable remains on it.

If I run a vpn on it then the Googled OS may still know my location(from wifi and bluethooth scanning that it may be doing nonstop) and browser searches.

In that case, would the vpn only mask my activity from my internet service provider?

Thanks in advance

PS: This is a locked phone and I understand that it’s spyware but I can’t afford an unlocked one yet thanks

    like i wrote under your last post, install netGuard as a VPN and activate “manage system apps” which will permit you to block google calling home

    also, with ADB you can uninstall almost anything (be careful!)

    you can also choose a dns which would block those (mullvad, for example
