As I understood, they will roll this out through “Google Play Services” and not the Android OS. So, any device with Google Play Services will be affected.
Thanks for that. I’ve been meaning to (re) disable Google Play services. I have a few older phones too that never had it to begin with. I wonder how/if Aurora Store will be impacted. Presumably, if you don’t have Google Play Services functioning, you don’t get the poison pill. But…given that Big Evil likes to just … do shit (cf the recent 4GB forced ingestion of their LLM with Chrome) I dunno.

In any case, step 1 is probably nuking that.
