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

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

    Communities thrive on dialogue and providing context and links can help with longevity for the community and platform.

      You’re right, I assumed you were the OP, and that’s squarely on me. The cats still remain. Most of the suggestions here will be impossible to find via streamline means, as this is not a streamline network, and much less a “normie” channel.
