I just wanted to share that you can disable google play store on stock Android and not lose that much functionality, if for any reason you use an app that require Google play store or you want to make a play store purchase, you can enable it again.

I personally disabled it and I get my apps from Aurora Store, ApkPure and Droidify.

It decreased my phone battery usage by a lot and I am less dependent on google overall.

    Do you really think it says the truth? I think I saw such systems lying in the past so can’t believe them no more.

      While I don’t fully believe it’s zero, it shouldn’t be too active. I have it set to notify me about updates and not auto install and I think it only notifies once a day while it’s still charging. I may have also disabled mobile data.
