    does android run without google account?

    yes, but even without a boogle account most, if not all, of the android (from factory) would be making connections through google play services &c

    you need a degoogled android (lineage, graphene, iode, e &c

        play services have access to every app on your phone.

        If you don’t want boogle to have your personal data, you need to nip that thing.

        if you’re starting degoogling, do yourself a favor, save time and install a clean OS. Yes, you can degoogle with adb but it takes some effort and it’s never as clean and efficient as lineage or graphene.

        for the time, this can help ☞

        pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gsf
