"textContent": "If you want both isolation of _Google Mobile Services_ (GMS) alongside convinience, you can install GMS to your _Private space_ (PS). That way you’ll get a separate profile from you main _Owner_ profile while still getting a high amount of convenience since you can access your PS without leaving your Owner profile.\n\nI personally tried the approach of originally installing GMS to a fully dedicated profile. It worked, but it was really cumbersome. Every time I wanted to open an app that needed GMS I had to switch profiles, and then when I was done I needed to switch profiles back. It became a chore really fast, even when I purposefully avoided using those apps as much as possible. I imagine this could be even more annoying for you if you want to game whenever you have those small moments of downtime.\n\nUsing PS makes that all much less of a hassle and I evenetually transferred all my GMS-dependent apps there. If you haven’t already activate PS, you can do so from `Settings > Security & privacy > Private space`\n\nGood luck on your privacy journey. You got this!",
