Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—Now Just 6 Weeks Away
Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—Now Just 6 Weeks Away
Apps on your phone could disappear as this mass deletion is confirmed.
You're viewing a single thread.
Reminder that if they can forcibly delete the app from your phone, you don't own your phone
They're not doing that.
If the app gets deleted in the store, then they do uninstall it on your phone too.
You did before?
I run LineageOS on my phone (with gapps) and my tablet (sans gapps). If Google tries deleting stuff it doesn't own on my phone it's LineageOS sans gapps for my phone and probably buying a phone for GrapheneOS.
Can't you just not use Google apps?
Possibly, eventually. Right now I'm using some useful proprietary things from the Play Store, as well as GMail, shared calendar and Maps.
I'm getting too old to self host All The Things, but if Google insists to be a dick I'll let most of it go and self host the rest.
I think these were the ones I installed https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/ My Poco X3 Pro has been having annoying ghost touch issues for a while, perhaps the time has come to look into an alternative.
So what do you have or are you gonna get?
