How to do it
Open Settings, tap System, and select microG to manage Google device registration, Cloud Messaging, and SafetyNet options.
Menu names may differ by device and version.
What you lose
Disabling microG Google device registration breaks push notifications for apps relying on Google Cloud Messaging.
What is collected
Device identifiers, push token registrations, app package names.
These compatibility layers exist to support push notifications, map rendering, and application licensing on alternative operating systems.
