    I skimmed the news, does anyone know if I already have Fdroid in an attempt to escape the custom apps lockdown, that I need to install this newest version or get locked down?

          They will be blocked when you try installing them, yeah :/

          Google’s services will check on install of application, if it is verified. If I am not wrong. It fucking sucks.

                Thank you

                Seeing that the “advanced flow” is part of google play and not the android OS is such a fucking red flag. I assumed it would be part of the OS
