1 day agoEh, kinda. It’s not quite as easy to escape from GApps as it is to install Linux, though, so it’s understandable.
My advice is to look into LineageOS, DivestOS, and GrapheneOS and see if your device is supported by anyone. If not, it’s possible to remove GApps using ADB, and you can use NextDNS to block tracking.
Fossify SMS is better, since SimpleMobileTools went proprietary after an aquisition a few years ago.
