    Imagine a world without

    • Google Apps (cough location and license check services)
    • Microsoft Office
    • WhatsApp
    • Instagram
    • all the apps your non-IT friends are using daily

    Then you can get rid of Google on your phone.

      I run a degoogled custom rom and I can still use those apps (except for Google apps maybe but that would defeat the whole point anyway)

      Location has a number of alternatives at least. Not sure what you mean by license check services, I’m guessing that’s a country specific thing.

        I noticed many apps in the PlayStore do license checks - even the free/demo versions. They also stated this in the permission list on the store page. However, most of them even ran offline when I checked last time.
