Update: I did not feel good with so many apps relaying on cloud and how invasive they were connecting to google account, I went back to more private setup by removing gapps. However I kept some proprietary apps like Google translate and text-to-speech and Huawei health, those apps seem to work fine with revoked internet access, only negative is HMS(huwei mobile services) said it does wifi scanning and it was not possible to disable (unless revoking internet disabled it). Also I wonder how dangerous is Phone permission…

Thanks, your guide was helpful.

Thank you for saying that.

Yes, for most part I still use privacy respecting free software it is better in every way. And I agree I could live fine life without bike sharing or convenient banking or apps that help me with health. But what I lose if I use those in addition to F-Droid apps, that Google knows my location, and health data is possibly being sold… The only negative to me is battery life, and possible data breaches.

I kind of just have stopped caring about it and so I am no longer able to see why I was so against it before. And this is so unlike me past ~5 years or so.
