Re: Android guilty too
First thing I do on any phone I have to manage (read: family), first thing to get disabled is...
GOOGLE APP
Same warnings: your phone will die, "no no please don't", but only thing I have noticed is loger battery life.
Play Store - works
Maps - works
Gmail - works
Chome - disabled (Firefox rules)
Photos - disabled
Gdrive - disabled
everything else by Google - disabled/don't use
And yes, I have a ton of apps that I use, so do others in the family, but I get to chose and install them (or instruct younger ones what to do and what not to do).
Btw, my phone iis a Motorola/Lenovo Edge 20 Pro, much better hardware than 2/3 of the new phones on the market, but out of support/upgrades because it is "more than two years old model".
Which is good, because I am not receiving any more unwanted upgrades to Moto-tools (that are also disabled now).
