For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don’t use anymore as my main phone, but it’s almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No SIM card, connected via Wi-Fi.

I’ve always noticed a battery drain of about 4-5% overnight, sometimes even more, despite not having notifications and not using it.

Last night, I decided to remove Google Services. In 24 hours (and a few minutes of usage), it consumed 2% of the battery.

I’m trying to understand how much I need Google Services for my needs. The main messaging systems I currently use are bridged with Matrix, and on Element, I have notifications via ntfy (unified push).

In the coming days, I will try to see if it’s possible for me to do without them.

@sqrtminusone@bsd.cafe I’m more worried for (lack of) notifications for some apps, but I think I could try to manage it.
