Is there much benefit at all in using vpn on Google Android OS? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a normal Googled Android phone and tinkered with a bunch of settings so that only what I can't uninstall or disable remains on it.

If I run a vpn on it then the Googled OS may still know my location(from wifi and bluethooth scanning that it may be doing nonstop) and browser searches.

In that case, would the vpn only mask my activity from my internet service provider?

Thanks in advance

PS: This is a locked phone and I understand that it's spyware but I can't afford an unlocked one yet thanks

You're right, I assumed you were the OP, and that's squarely on me. The cats still remain. Most of the suggestions here will be impossible to find via streamline means, as this is not a streamline network, and much less a "normie" channel.
