Since they announced Covid in China I have not updated the following on my phone: Google, FB, IG, Gmail, Googlephotos, Chrome, YT, FB Messenger, Calendar, Gboard, anything connected to Moto, microphone / Speech Services. Nor have I allowed my phone to do any type of system update.
The only thing I've updated on my phone since late 2019 is Spotify and my games.
You cant stop some updates unless you disable Google services as well as the manufacturer updates (then replace it with something else so your other apps work). That needs root and usually an unlocked bootloader. A long, deep rabbit hole; nearly impossible if you aren't a techie. Can be done though, yay AOSP!
TLDR: not updating wont save you. You need a hardened OS.
