vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools

Aah yes, gotta love muricans crying because tiktok is chinese "spyware" and should be banned, while qualcomm just makes a "oopsie woopsie" for 3 letter agencies with billion of devices around the world.

Fuck, I can't even disable googol play services, it's constantly running in the background

Use my Smartphone Hardening non root Guide 2.0, the few starting steps should be enough to disable Google Play Malware.

Thanks.

I noticed that un Settings -> Security -> Device Admin Apps Google Play Services was enabled, by disableing it I was able to atleast Disable the app.

You should disable the package itself via ADB so it does not re enable itself, like it does like a spyware.
