Android has this feature of “Work Profile” that allows you to put these shitty apps in a separate profile so they can’t accept any of your data. I mean it’d be better if we don’t have distopian apps to begin with, but here we are…
(I used an app called “Shelter” that sets up a “work profile” and put apps in there and the apps can’t acces my photos contacts, or anything basically)

There’s also Insular which let’s you clone apps and run them in an isolated sandbox. It’s open source and available in F-Droid.
