GM. On Android you can download all your regular apps through the Aurora store anonymously. So you can use the apps you want, without having a Google account linked to you. Google play and the Aurora store are both just the front end for the Android app database.

1. Download f-droid https://f-droid.org/

2. Download Aurora store from f-droid

3. Sign in as anonymous

4. Download any Android app. Google maps, proton mail etc.

question

google and many other apps are notorious for collecting device, location, wifi connection and other personal data that make up an id profile

so.. can e.g. google maps downloaded through aurora fdroid not still easily link you the anon user that's using the app w this?

What about payed apps? Do they offer purchases with Monero?

I don't think so. Aurora store is just a proxy for Google app store. Great alternative though if you need it.

Using aurora store on a degoogled phone is like being a trans "being".

Faxx but not everyone is degoogled but wants to move there slowly.

Freedom or death!
