It surprisingly wasn’t enabled by default on my Pixel 7a.
That’s interesting, opinions around that seem to be mixed on r/GrapheneOS and the official forum. I guess it’s mostly the Google Play sandboxing that helps with the power consumption?
I can’t say I know exactly why it’s the case, to be totally honest! Based on your comment, sounds like it may ultimately be a YMMV situation
No, it’s OS bloat. The play services aside from being sand boxed aren’t privileged apps, they have no more power than any other user app on Graphene.
If you were to compare two Graphene installs, one with the play services and one without, it may help just because it’d be one app handling all the push instead of multiple apps running background services. But a stock OS never stops sending data, especially to the Goog.
