I hate that it is almost impossible not to use this when using an Android device! Besides not rly telling what it's doing bc it must have all rights to work in the background, it's so annoying bc it eats up SO MUCH STORAGE and there's NO WAY TO MANAGE THAT! The app alone is already 468MB + over 1GB 'user data'! So it's >1.5GB data for whatever, at least nothing that I need. If I delete all its data, I don't miss any functionality except backup, but it'll be huge again after just a few hours?!

Where is Google Play Store App - I can't search it, But it regularly Updates itself. I hate the fact you can swipe your icon to a different account - Who uses this, not me, But it just does it, randomly Annoying. The app does so many things as well as update your Apps now. I do wish certain Apps from Google weren't hidden as System ones 'cause it's hard to check/change the Permissions for them. My phone Always has Remove Permissions If Unused - hopefully that doesn't apply to System ones? 5⭐👍

I'm getting spammed with notifications saying "[Messages/Google One/Google Play store] won't run unless you update Google Play services". There's no option to update it anywhere within Google Play and it's starting to pop up every 15-30 seconds, making my phone almost unusable. Maybe a flip phone would be better.
