As it is widely known that Google tries to collect data from all possible sources, we offer a method how you can remove and restrict many Google Services on your smartphone. We provide a manual for these restrictions for the Fairphone. There we install LineageOS instead of Android and furthermore we remove unnecessary functions like Google DNS or replacing the Play Store with the Open-Source based F-Droid Store. The goal is to prevent Google from tracking you.
For more details and more information about specific google functions and dependencies we have removed, take a look at our [installation_guide][guide]. There you get all relevant information and you can ungoogle your fairphone all by yourself.
## How to bypass Google
We have created some references how you can bypass Google and still benefit from the features that Google normally provides.
[Here][messenger] you can see how you can use your messenger of choice without the need of a Google-account.
[Here][calendar] you can see how you can synchronize the a calendar through multiple devices without using Google.
If you are interested how an arbitrary app is tracking you, we can recommend the [exodus][privacy] platform, another website which is highly recommendable for a safer smartphone usage is [mobilsicher][privacyII].
