You can set permissions on the google maps app (disable background data and enable battery optimization) so it doesn't run in background.
Also apps in graphene (including gapps) run somehow sandboxed which seems to prevent them from sending too much of your data home. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But there are also usable open source alternatives, osmand is a navigation based on open street maps, but it won't find so most names so there is a app called acastus photon to convert street names to coordinates 😂
Sounds about right. Lol. I'm not getting Google Messages to confirm my number for RCS which is going to kinda suck since that actually means about 80% of my communications will no longer be encrypted.
I have family that have no interest in learning a new messenger.
You could also use a fake phone number from sms4sats.com
How would I use that for RCS?
Don't exactly how RCS works or what it is, here everybody uses WhatsApp. On sms4sats.com you can get phone numbers to register for services like WhatsApp so you don't have to use your real number
