          google play services would still periodically query your location, even when on gps only. it’s a privileged app so you can’t even block it from doing so. MicroG (on lineageOS or calyxOS), or GrapheneOS’ sandboxed play services can help with that

            you can simply uninstall play services. not even microG, and gps still works
