    I already migrated to Graphene. Knowing my luck if I wouldn’t then Google would go through with this shit.

    Is no one realizing that apps still have to register and ID themselves? It says that apps limited to 20 people or less won’t need to.

    How does this affect my Galaxy S10 from 2019 which hasn’t seen an update in years? I suspect it doesn’t. Not trying to be a smartass — I know I should change it out for something like an A25 that is still supported and probably a little faster, but I have this and it still works.

    I use fdroid and aurora stores but lately I’m having this message for apps installed from aurora that are also available in play store. Image

    Is this a thing enforced by android or by the apps? Is there a way to circumvent it?

      I saw that on an app about a year ago. I’ve never uninstalled an app that fast before.
