'Europe must ban American Big Tech and create a European Silicon Valley' | Tilburg University
Despite new laws in the field of digitalization, the existing European legislation is totally inadequate to counterbalance the Big Tech wave from Silicon Valley. This is argued by philosopher of law Bart van der Sloot. If we take the influence in the field…
Their pricing info page indicates they are actively seeking a payment method not tied to Google Play or the Apple App Store. At $.099 / year it is not a lot, but that is why it would be up to you as an individual to install and use it rather than being a default app.

microG GMSCore v0.3.8.250932 has been released on 2025-07-13.
* This has been flagged as a PRERELEASE (beta) version prior to official release.
THAT MEANS IT COULD CONTAIN SERIOUS BUGS!
READ THAT AGAIN!
IF YOU ARE NOT OK WITH THIS DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE. If no serious bugs are found, this should transition to “release” status within a week or so.
We will NOT help people troubleshoot beta/pre-release versions of microG. Do not ask for solutions to problems here that you may have when installing such "pre-release” versions of microG.
If you would like to help the developers track down the source of new bugs, feel free to ask us how to use the microG Github page for that.
Since the microG website is offline at the moment, in order to install this software you will need to manually download the components from the microG Github. It will not be available through microg-dot-org or the F-droid repo until the microg-dot-org website is back online.
UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS:
This is a bugfix/compatibility update.
New Features Overview
NONE
Misc Improvements
- Play Integrity: include cloud project number in request
- Several S/W compatibility improvements
- Improve compatibility of USB “FIDO” credential fobs in 3rd-party apps
- New/Updated translations
Bugfixes
- Accounts access permission cannot be granted
- Handle account no longer signed-in (Auth)
- Fix bug that caused crashes when apps use Webview for ads
For a full changelog, see the links below.

UPDATING:
SEE THE SPECIAL NOTICE AT THE TOP OF THIS DOC RE: THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE MICROG WEBSITE AND F-DROID REPO!
You can also update microG on an existing installation by downloading the new APK from the official microG Github download page or website, and install it like any other standalone APK.
REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE TWO MAIN MICROG COMPONENTS: GmsCore and microG Companion. Always update both together (GmsCore FIRST), and ensure the version numbers match.
If you use a ROM which bundles microG and the above update methods do not work, you may have to wait for your ROM to update to the new microG version. Ask your ROM developer.
For new installs, the 3rd-party installer bundles will be updated as per each developer's workflow.
