My recommendations on Quora's feed follow closely what I've said with an Android phone present, even someone else's phone, as my presence is detected by Google from my voice and my /e/OS phone's radio traffic.

I highly recommend GrapheneOS, /e/OS, Jolla Sailfish OS Linux phone, or anything that doesn't work for Google or Apple. My battery life (idling) went from 2 days with Android to a whole week with /e/OS, because spying consumes energy.
I had this cheap android phone, it costed like €70/80, the battery life would die in a day or even less, in idle and then i decided to get rid of google play services, assistant ecc and now the damn battery can survive 7 fucking days in idle with termux in background hosting a discord bot this shit is just crazy
