hi thank you for the reply but i think my question wasnt answered idk

does google still collect data from old versions of android cause idk if i want to add a custom rom yet to my phone please give me advice ty

It does and your phone probably hasn’t received firmware, driver and software updates in a long time if it runs an old version of Android. This makes your phone not secure and not private. You should consider getting a Google Pixel device with Google Pixel 6a being the cheapest option.

If it’s running a recent Play Services update, it definitely is. Also most services such as grabbing location ping Google as well. There is also advertising services and what not.
