It’s difficult to function in society these days without a smart phone, but I wanted to fully move away from Google systems and big tech in general.
I try and use mine as a phone(call/sms/MMS) and mp3 with limited functioning otherwise. No social media apps; browser only if I do access them. FOSS for everything.
Having a non google platform for browsing is so helpful. A basic search function is hard to live without.
Have you tried microg to allow gapps to work? Or is that just not something you want to do?
No microg.
