I was using aurora store for awhile and today I got a notification tell me to update this app. I have no idea what it do exactly, but I always try to degoogle my phone as much as possible. It would help a lot if someone can give an answer. Thank in advance.

Duck it or f"ck it.
Manually degoogling a phone can result in many unwanted problems. Essential aosp softwares are REPLACED by its proprietary alternatives by google . The best way to go is use an Aosp ROM or microg ROM/os. Like Grapheneos Microg4lineage Calyxos or any other you like

I'm using crdroid with microg and the best match for this is carrier communication

version 14 com.android.carrierdefaultapp

I get that custom ROM is the best for degoogle my phone but as a Samsung user with a snapdragon chip I already run out of luck for it.

If you're from Europe then you can get install a custom bootloader regardless of Snapdragon.
