🔴 App download / install / manage

Google PlayStore™ can be installed with #minmicrog and other microg installers. Some apps you bought with a Google account may require it to check for licenses.
If it doesn't work check possible solutions here: https://t.me/NoGoolag/19314 ( #issues )

You can buy apps with your Google account from a web browser and then download it with Google playstore / Aurora Store / Yalp Store

Don't buy apps to Google, you're financing that evil corporation with the 30% cut they take from every app sold

If you installed microg with minmicrog installer and you're having issues, try fixing permissions with npem command:

With a PC (no root required):
- connect device with a cable
- open ADB shell in a terminal
- type command: npem

Or on the device (root required):
- open a terminal app (like termux)
- type this command to get root: su
- type command: npem

6 Best Secure Messaging Alternatives to WhatsApp | Avoid the Hack – https://avoidthehack.com/best-secure-messengers

The content of your messages and the metadata associated with them should be secure and private. Unfortunately many messengers out there fail to do this.

Telegram operates in the cloud, and while this does have good portability across multiple devices and device types, the service provider (or anyone with access to the cloud server) could theoretically read them at any time with relative ease; Telegram stores messages on the third-party cloud provider's server.
According to Telegram’s privacy policy, the service itself logs IP addresses and phone numbers.

#microg v0.2.28.231657

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/tag/v0.2.28.231657

Changelog
Entirely new, rewritten location stack
Major update to maps implementation. Thanks fynngodau
Support for reCAPTCHA Enterprise API
Various compatibility improvements

Notes
The new location stack does not support UnifiedNlp modules anymore. This was a step necessary to take to get locations properly working on latest Android versions. This means that some features previously available through UnifiedNlp modules do no longer exist. The goal is to merge the most important of those features into GmsCore. For now, the new locations stack is relying exclusively on Mozilla Location Service for network based location.
microG GmsCore now requests a few additional privileged permissions. As always, privileged permissions are optional for microG and you can continue using microG as an unprivileged app with only minor downsides. The new privileged permissions are:
android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE
android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE
android.permission.NETWORK_SCAN
android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS
android.permission.WATCH_APPOPS

#Accrescent

A novel Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability.
Currently in early alpha

https://accrescent.app

https://github.com/accrescent/accrescent

Features:
App signing key pinning
Signed repository metadata
Automatic, unprivileged, unattended updates
First-class support for split APKs
No remote APK signing
Meaningful quality control for submitted apps
No account requirement for installing apps
...and more. See the features page on the website for details.

Warning from its faq:
Apps do not need to be open-source to be submitted to Accrescent. Although open-source software provides additional transparency and can make it easier for users to check overall code quality, it is not inherently more secure or private than closed-source software. Likewise, proprietary software is not inherently less secure or private than open-source software. Since Accrescent is focused on security and privacy it wouldn't make sense for it to restrict developers to a specific source model.
