Nope, unfortunately there's not a single item in there containing/related to Google :'(

You need to have at least 2 apps installed from Google for it to show up.

I installed the Youtube and Google Home apps.

However, still i see no "Google LLC" in "Settings > General > iPhone Storage".

(i do see Youtube and Google Home. But after deleting them and reinstalling Youtube i am automatically logged in again.)

If you go to Settings > Passwords and Accounts, are you signed into a Google account there?

No... only iCloud and my Mail account (strato.de).

I just noticed something else though: when i drag down from the home screen and enter "google" in the search bar, the result list displays a "Settings" item named "Google Home" with the gray ios-settings icon next to it. If i click it to open it, the settings app opens but it doesn't show me anything specific, just the main setting screen.

Note that Google Home is not installed on any of my devices (i removed them a long time ago after ditching the Chromecast).
