so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that’s privacy respecting?

    thanks everyone for the replies, unfortunately most of the OSes you guys have provided aren’t compatible with my current phone (redMi 11 pro), so if I ever get a google pixel, I will use graphene OS. Good night everyone.

    AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function

      IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history

        Graphene is the best option but lineageos is also good and covers many devices. The con of lineageos is the lack of hardened security which graphene provides.

    you can install tracker control or netGuard to see or block those connections

    but it must be better to start with graphene, lineage or iodé as your base
