If you use Google Play Services, then Google is tracking you (no matter what phone manufacturer you have).
Easiest place for me to check on the Aurora Store to see if an app has a Google Play store dependency.
Once you have Aurora installed, open the app (I use "Anonymous" mode), the select the app you'd like to check.
Then click on "More about app" and scroll down to "Dependencies" - there you'll see whether Google Play Services are required.
Another great site is Exodus:
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
Here you can see what permissions any app is requiring (and I'm expecting you'll be surprised in many cases--instagram for example requires 65 different permissions on your phone).
It's pretty disturbing once you start realizing how much you're being tracked.
yes, thank you for this :) I also use aurora and exodus. I don't use g play store. I wanted to make sure I understood what you meant. there's also 'app lounge' which integrates exodus.

even if I don't have a google or apple phone ?
people have hobbies coz they don't do what they love. i have had the chance of never having had a hobby, only passions and visions.

Thanks for sharing...Google (and Google Play Services) are dystopian.
Love the idea of #Fedi (https://www.fedi.xyz/) but can't support them as they require Google Play Services...
Hope Graphene can put pressure on them...
you can download the apk directly from their github
I just started #Fedi but it didn't give me the option to enter my npub and gave me a new one. isn't the point of npubs to use my profile across protocols ?
will they add it in the future ? it's also missing a dark mode... step by step I guess...
navigating this realm can be pretty wild and intense... the adventure is far from boring 😅
in a world trapped in the matrix, u gotta have confidence that over powers the collective nonsense.
