    You can opt out of it by putting your phone in “developer mode” or by using something like LineageOS

      I was thinking about rooting my phone to install LineageOS, but unfortunately, that plan won’t be possible because I don’t really understand how to do it, and I don’t have a computer or another phone to help me.

      The only thing I’ve done so far is disable Google Play services, and I’m using a few microG apps instead. :/

        You don’t need to root your phone, just unlock the bootloader. But yes you will need to hook it to a PC or maybe another phone to make it work. I did mine off a PC.

          That’s why I gave up, I don’t understand any of this stuff. Furthermore, the bootloader seems like something very complicated to do.(。•́︿•̀。)

        LineageOS is great I am using it right now, however do keep in mind that you do not need to root your phone in order to install LineageOS.

          But you don’t need to unlock the bootloader. Your phone is needed to install LineageOS.

          Half the videos I watched on YouTube were of people saying you need to format your phone. Or do this or that to unlock that phone -_-
