    Yes.

    Consider blocking Firebase domains in HOSTS file, which you can do in NetGuard or Invizible Pro, which you can supply your HOSTS file.

    Not sure if Hagezi or such community made HOSTS rulesets carry Firebase domains in their anti-Google/BigTech part of domains.

    There are no client side tools on Apple to accomplish this, unlike on any Android, no matter $50 or $5000.

        These are in progressing order of complexity.

        • Exodus database shows the “bad” domains an app connects to.
        • Warden on F-Droid does a similar but more comprehensive job for any installed app packages.
        • App Manager shows activities, services, receivers and providers apps utilise or have in a comprehensive manner.

      I use DivestOS, so Google Play Services and all that comes along with it isn’t there in the first place
