I think privacy is tough so I'm taking it gradually. Just trying to make improvements. With iphone I had the drive, watch, MacBook, apple pay. Pure iphone fan boy.
I now don't use cloud drives, I have a synology NAS drive, use proton as an email service, Fdroid and brave browser, so got out of all the apple, and Google services. I do need it for the play store and maps essentially but that's about it.
With Samsung and Xiaomi, etc they have Google sign-in and their own sign in and terms of conditions. I figured pure Google is better.
It's not perfect but it's an improvement.
Also Google does have toggles to disable the mic, video and location tracking right from the home screen. Very handy.
