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

    Have you tried searching instead of coming straight to a group of nerds focused on privacy and crying about something not being in the Play Store, which many of us avoid like the plague?

      If your opsec was so great you’d realise I was not the OP and just found the comment to be dismissive.
