Disabled Google photo and drive. Will my phone's photos be private?

  Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB to debloat non-rooted android devices. Improve your privacy, the security and battery life of your device.

They can all be disabled and even "uninstalled" (not really, but what matters in the end is that those apps can't run when in either state). Universal Android Debloater removes Google's bloatware and much more, such as OEM and carrier bloatware, all of which are detrimental to privacy (sources: one and two) and aren't often talked about, apart from a few quite simply useless stock AOSP apps. By the way, the apps analyzed in those papers are closed source, so to show source model is quite irrelevant.

LineageOS can only run Google Play binaries in a privileged manner, be it through the "GApps package" or MicroG which has security and privacy problems of its own (most implementations, such as what you'd see in LineageOS, will enable systemwide signature spoofing, and MicroG can leak your location to apps that don't have the location permission granted - Fused Locations not honoring AppOps, if you're wondering).
