Iguess what I was asking can text without google

[AC Question]

I understand what was said about deleting apps under google, but do I need google to text? She does nothing on google, does not check weather, news sales,email nothing.
So what she wants the phone to do Is be able to talk on it or text, nothing else.
It seems google keeps popping up "ask google" update google etc.
Thank you Craig

Texts, phone calls are via your network provider, they function independent from any google involvement. If you turn off mobile data, all internet is locked out and you can text to your hearts content. Or just get a dumb phone...
