Hello everyone. I have a separate profile for my proprietary apps on GOS, yet some of these apps don’t work, so I’m thinking I need to enable Google Play Services.

Was wondering if this could hugely compromise my privacy, and if I could uninstall GPS later on. Thank you!

    Note that your Google account is pseudonymous, not anonymous. It’s still an account related to your person, just without your real name attached. That’s a step up from a clear-name Google account but nowhere near private.

    Google can mine an insane amount of data out of just when you are online and/or using their services.
