It is probably all the google telemetry and monitoring and wifi scanning to map your location for sale that is running in the background. I plan on getting a pixel 7a soon but will immediately wipe the google junk and load grapheneos. Apart from getting rid of all the spyware this also doubles the battery run times.
But does Google pay and banking apps work ?
Banking, most likely (depending on the bank).
Google Pay/Wallet/whatever-it's-called-today, no.
Yeah I used to use lineage on OnePlus 5 I think. But safety net wouldn't allow my bank to work and obviously broke pay.
Unfortunately that's a deal breaker. Until there's another system to pay. Miband, ring , fingerprint whatever.
I need to keep Google for those things. I haven't used cash since 2018
Was thinking about doing this also but not sure if its worth it as im already using lineage
If you value the extra privacy and security, then it's absolutely worth it.
Yes but I dont have a pixel and I use mostly foss apps on my phone. The few nonfree apps are in a shelter sandbox (not sure how comparable this is to graphene's sandboxing).
