fid02 my goal is not to remove the account but just log out before I finish the session on the secondary space.

      GOS-user

      If it is in a separate profile, simply end the session. That will put the profile at rest, and no applications will be able to run on that particular profile.

          p338k main goal is to prevent Google Serviced from working in the background and minimise their data collection and spying on me ;) I understand that coming back to the primary space probably cancels whatever was working on the secondary space but you never know...
          Question on this occasion: when leaving the secondary space, does the button 'End session' and clicking on the Owner (primary) account/space do the same thing?

              You can configure the other profiles to run in the background or not. If they are configured to run in the background, you will need to end them manually to stop them. The owner profile can only be ended shouting down or rebooting.

                [deleted] Unfortunately I had minimal choice because I needed a banking app. Aurora could not provide that. I can live with this for now, maybe in the future I will invest in another Pixel, completely free of any Google traces on it. But in reality, how convenient is it? I am no whistleblower or anything ;)) burner phone is a real option for privacy imo but whatever, I just wanted to find out what it says in the first post.

                    Check for the "Allow running in background" option. If disabled, I believe it will be put to rest when switching from it. In any case, you can always end the session manually.

                      Blastoidea why thanks, precisely, I do my banking on the web and I get WhatsApp which I am more or less forced to use by my peers also from their website (I check for updates on WhatsApps Google Play site and update accordingly).

                        Blastoidea I don't understand. Before banking apps I was visiting my branch if I had to:)

                          muhomorr where exactly should I look in settings? I couldn't find it in either user space...

                            What's the concrete "spying" you are conceptualising here? As far as I can tell, you are using Play Store in a secondary profile with just one other third-party app installed. You can use a "burner" Google account for just this purpose. Then I struggle to see how Google could practically collect any personal information on you. It can get your IP address, but you can use a VPN to hide that. In any case, if you don't use your IP address for any other purpose, I don't see how Google realistically can tie it to you personally.
                            Please keep in mind that Play Services and Play Store on GrapheneOS are running in the standard app sandbox. It does not have privileged access and cannot do any voodoo stuff to magically break out of it.

                            I think you're simply causing yourself unnecessary inconvenience. If I were you, I'd just be signed into the Play Store and let it update the app.

                              What if i login with a personal google account what information can google get from that. If someone can explain in detail
