April 15, 2021Can we talk about the Google Play Services battery drain? I know there are tons of topics, but no clear answers.
As said time and time again in every thread, the reason why there is no answer is because apps are the cause of the problem, not Google Play Services. Google Play Services collects metrics, location, sensors, wifi and other data ON BEHALF of apps. Apps query for it and Google Play Services collects it for them. I have 1% Google Play Services drain because I don't have 500 apps installed. It's often poorly written Tasker rules or rogue apps that hammer the battery. Use Better Battery Stats to check which apps are requesting metrics. More on reddit.com

May 17, 2023 -
I’ve just moved to Android and Graphene on a Pixel 7 after years on iPhone, but I’m struggling with how I should set things up with different profiles and which should have Play Services or whether I even need it. Total noob to Android & not sure whether I even need to create a Google account (real or fake) or use Aurora Store now it’s pool of accounts apparently no longer works. I’m wanting a few profiles (banking & NHS app for prescriptions, social media, etc) but not sure which if any need Play Services or why?

Well, you jumped ship and bit the bullet hard...kudos. You're gonna need Google Play Services for automatic app updates, running any banking apps, probably for Google Maps, and ANY OTHER APP that actually requires it. It's part of the Google/ Google Play ecosystem. Graphene sandboxes Google Play Services. You can search and tweak with open source stuff all day long, but you'll probably end up needing it running. I did.
