While that's true, you are losing one of the most critical components of Android. Not the Play Store but Firebase Cloud Messaging. It's not part of AOSP and so deeply integrated into Android that removing it cripples a lot of apps. Replicating FCM's functionality inside apps leads to a significant increase in battery drain.
- amaccuish 8y agoTake a look at microg. I use it, it supports FCM. Ok so I'm still using Google to some extent, but the amount of information they get out me is vastly reduced and similar to Apple.

I've heard a completely different story from people that run Conversations (XMPP client) without FCM. They claim the battery drain is minimal. (it may depend on the messanger usage)
