C'mon Motorola, hurry up.
GrapheneOS lets you install Google Play Services locked inside a sandbox inside a separate profile, which might work?
The whole system is designed around identifying you as an individual (and until now about making you as miserable as possible until you gave up), so I'm not sure how happy Google would be if you tried that.
Yes, but then you are tracked on each website and service by google. Entirely against the point of having a google free or sandboxed device.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think having a separate profile for just Captcha verification through Play would be more akin to having a separate phone for the purpose. Provided you only used that separate profile for the single purpose, then closed it
Its really going to depend on how many sites use it and how it handles tracking. If its IP address linked, then it just links all profiles on the same phone.
But they won't be de-googled. I assume Google has some sort of Trojan software that remains permanently in the background that users can't see.
Untrue. Motorola with GrapheneOS will still be degoogled. No clue where your idea comes from. Motorola is not even Google anymore.
I think they’re saying that the Motorola phones will have never had google, so they can’t have the sleeper trigger google leaves behind when it has been removed from a phone. I don’t know if the Motorola phones will have the google app store or any other google apps preinstalled, though.
I don't really understand. Motorola phones have and will come with Google play. There will just be official support for GOS. That could mean two things: you have to flash it yourself or you could get it preinstalled. Either way I don't see how the first part changes.
Then that’s cleared up :)
I didn’t know that they would have the google play store installed, so either I interpreted them wrong or they also didn’t know that.
Ah well I wouldn't assume every Motorola from now on comes with GOS. And if you have the option then it'd be lacking the play store by default of course.
