I am by no means an expert and I'm def interested in what others have to say on this issue as well.

I use Greenify and it allows you to quarantine apps and run them on an emulated version of Android. So there's one option

My gripe with Greenify is its not open sourced amd has a bunch trackers. https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.oasisfeng.greenify/latest/
