@ralphcrutzen Importeren van contacten was een behoorlijke irritante exercitie. Importeren met een contact.vcf lukt niet. Uiteindelijk toch maar Google ad services geïnstalleerd en Google alle rechten gegeven (ehm, waarom had ik ook alweer voor @GrapheneOS gekozen?).

En hup al mijn contacten in mijn telefoon.

Dikke zucht. hoe nu GAS weer te de-installeren zonder contacten te verliezen?

@si2mev @ralphcrutzen VCF export/import should work fine. It's possible the app you used for exporting did it in a format incompatible with AOSP Contacts but you can use a different app to export/import on both ends. There are also various apps you can use for end-to-end encryption contacts sync/backup.

You didn't need to give sandboxed Google Play a bunch of permissions to use their contacts sync but it's still far less invasive than regular privileged Google Play services even with those.

@si2mev @ralphcrutzen It doesn't matter at all that you did that if they already had your contacts anyway. You have to migrate to avoiding using them for sync if you want to avoid them having those anyway. Just get rid of it if you don't want it and make a dedicated work profile or Private Space for apps depending on Google Play if you want to keep it separate. You'll probably want apps depending on it but you don't need to give it any permissions beyond Network and it can be in another profile.
