The task of FLOSS authors creating clients for walled gardens like Spotify always seems like a bit of own goal to me, tbh.
I think we all love our phones - it's this amazing silent revolution that's happened where ubiquitous computing has already happened (at least in the first world)
I understand you likely want specific features from the services you list but for others, if they were generics, this is the best either FLOSS or if not available, De-Googled list I could compile:
///Music
Mp3s
Spotify (closed source with a downloader on FDroid)
I'm not aware of any open source clients for the streaming services. Some friends use Youtube-dl on a pc and send then files across.
///Maps
OpenStreetMaps (edit: meant OSMAnd)
Maps
///Messaging
Signal
Silence (Secure SMS text messaging)
Telegram (On FDroid - again haven't checked with MicroG)
Whatsapp (Closed Source with a downloader on FDroid, although I haven't tested it with MicroG)
///Sygic car navigation
I don't think there's much hope for this one...
(edit: sorry for the horrible layout)
