The best way to de-google ur phone is to install a custom rom without gapps and use alternative apps for those google apps. It's a hectic process but very much doable. U lose some conveniences too. And I'm sure there r ways they can track/watch u via custom roms too since the core os is android. I'm not an expert though, correct me if I'm wrong.

/e/OS also has more than 200 supported devices for anyone who wants to check it out. It comes without google services and no google apps, but you are still able to install any google app like maps, youtube etc if you want. Your privacy will still continue due to tracker blocking, fake location, fake IP address etc. All trackers are blocked and your data will not be shared so openly. The OS makes sure to leak data if necessary for functions or apps to still work. The OS still has flaws etc, but now the first stable version that is still more of a beta version has been released. Flashing is very easy and detailed instructions are provided. The app lounge, their custom play store, does not require an account and has imported all the apps you could find in the play store. I haven't yet found an app that I am unable to install. There are sometimes issues with google-login options for different apps and some apps require you to download the app from the play store (only one I found in my daily usage was the mcdonalds app). You are not per default able to install the google play store (but you don't have many reasons to do. With the fake locations there is no way to use google maps or other GPS dependent navigation apps, but you can swipe left on your home screen and disable the blocker within 1 second. Very nice UI and very much customization possible.
