      Not Google bad. Google app bad. Expanding the statement from a specific app to an entire company is unnecessary & waters down the statement to an ideal. Ideals are fine & all, but they’re based on opinions rather than facts. There’s no reason to make the transition in this case.

  I don’t known if it causes issues but I keep the Google app disabled on my phone (not rooted yet).

    If you do not care about things like backing up call history and text messages to your Google account, then I don’t see any negative to keeping it disabled.
