I'll post a complaint about this in 5 minutes when my phone's UI is responsive again.

Tell that to all the google apps with backdoor permissions that can't be uninstalled.
I have those apps too. I'm just saying I have never had this issue. I am not saying it's not legit it's just strange.
I also don't use any social media besides lemmy so that might also play a factor. And I block A LOT of ips on my phone.
748mb of RAM on my phone is currently being used by random crap I didn't ask for, like Chrome and Messenger (neither of which have been used in years), smart view, DeX, settings suggestions, gallery stories, quallcom.atfwd, visit in (none of which I've every actually used in any capacity AFAIK), media storage, downloads manager, game booster, game optimizing service, phone, wifi calling, contacts, contacts storage, blocked number storage, CMHProvider, Mobile Location Protocol, google services framework, and Gmail (none of which I've asked to run or are being used by the things I have asked to run).
These aren't just services either, they're fully fleged background apps with app entries and everything. And not a one was started by me.
What phone you get. It's sound like a Samsung have you seen if there is custom ROM you can run? https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung
Also a lot of services like Location Protocol, google services frame, downloads manager, contacts. Are necessary for your phone to work at all. Turning them off and on when using them would destroy your battery.
