In some cases you may want to remove an application entirely from your phone. If you are a bit tech-savvy you can enable USB debugging, plug your phone to the computer, install ADB (android debugger) and then remove the APK (best case) or if that's not possible, totally disable it for your user.
Here's the command to do it for Google's password manager, for instance:
adb uninstall --user 0 com.android.credentialmanager
This is one of those that cannot be removed completely, only disabled.

in reply to Tuta • • •Some other simple things
8. Disable google advertising ID in phone settings
9. Install F-Droid where you can discover many FLOSS apps deliberately not published on google play
10. Switch from a fingerprint to a pin (added bonus that police in several countries can legally force your thumb onto your phone but cant legally force you to give up a pin)
11. Switch from google notification servers to something else like microg and/or set notifications to not display message content or at least not display message content when the phone is locked (Im pretty sure all that can be done from notification settings)
12. Switch from googles keyboard app to an open source alternative from f-droid (google has been fined millions before for illegally and secretly tracking geolocation it wouldnt surprise me if they do the same with keystrokes, and also mic and camera)
13. There's a bunch of other phone-home features spread across the settings but mostly under privacy category and accessibility category that you might want to turn off if you have no use for
