It doesn’t do that by itself. Go on. Do it.

What’s the Google Play System?

The Google Play System (also called Google System Updates) is a way for Android devices to receive updates to core components without requiring a full OS update. This includes security patches, bug fixes, and new features for things like the Play Store and Google Play Services. It was introduced with Android 10 and works on most modern Android devices, including phones, tablets, and wearables.

For those getting their panties in a knot:

  • Not everyone has a de-Googled phone
  • Some people need Google Play services for essential apps.
  • MicroG and other alternatives don’t always work perfectly.
  • Privacy ROMs aren’t easily accessible for everyone.
  • Only a limited number of devices support them.

For the majority of Android users, Google Play System updates matter, and no, they don’t always install automatically.

Just stop.

    I didn’t want to be exposed to exploits, so made sure to never install the Google services stuff.

      Not everyone uses a custom ROM because not everyone has a supported device. If this doesn’t apply to you, just keep scrolling. People man…
