[deleted] OK, thanks. So, I do need to enable Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Play? Then, additionally, I need to give a battery optimization exception to Google Play services

Does that sound correct?

I am setting up a new phone with GOS. If I want push notifications for Protonmail to work, do I need to enable Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Play?

I am working off of a guide, and it says that you need to enable those for push notifications to work. But, I don't want to enable more than I have to from Google on my new device.

de0u I'm trying to keep Google in general off my phone. It's hard to get away from Google maps though so I am OK with installing that on a separate profile.

I am not quite ready to be completely done with my gmail yet as I work towards moving to protonmail. So, weighing my options.....

I am trying to figure out the best way to configure GMail access from both a usability and privacy standpoint. I am most likely going to end up creating a separate Google profile so that I can get access to Google Maps. The other options just don't seem to be anywhere near good enough.

Since I would be installing that separate Google profile, I thought about putting Gmail on that profile. But, I would want to check email more regularly without having to switch profiles.

That leads me to the possibility of installing FairEmail in the main profile instead. Does FairEmail accessing my GMail eliminate a lot of the privacy concerns outside of what emails are sent through/scanned by Gmail? I mainly rely on my Protonmail email, but still want to keep my GMail for now.

Thanks!
