    Not really know. I can’t use some apps that absolutely depend on Google Play services, such as Uber and Lyft. But I can use the Uber website. So that doesn’t matter.

      Those sound bad for privacy anyway.

      However, you can probably use MicroG and Shelter/Island to make it work. MicroG pretends to be the play services while Shelter creates a isolated environment for isolated apps.

        They are bad for privacy, which is why I use them from the web instead of having an app installed anyway. Even if I could make it work with the apps, I don’t want the apps on my system because apps have more access than a website does.
