@privacy How to be private with google services and noroot.
I can’t disable google play services for a lot of reasons (school apps, UPI, etc). I have three main google apps enabled. Gservices, gmail+meet, gpay. I have replaced as much apps as possible. Any guide for being private for me?
Island work without root. It is based on a “work profile” feature of android devvices. It is not a complete privacy, but at least it allows to separate google apps from other apps.

I wonder how good it is compared to shelter
It is an interesting question… It seems to me I compared it and I chose Island. But I cannot remember why :D
UPD. I chose Island/Insular only because it is updated more frequently:
Take a look at this:

I also remember starting with island but changing to shelter because it supports app pausing without using a third party proprietary app to pause work apps
Can’t gapps act as root on all profiles? I don’t think this buys you anything as long as gapps is installed.
