Google's next-gen reCAPTCHA system could spell trouble for de-Googled phones (www.androidauthority.com)

  • Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.

  • Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.

  • This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.

Honestly. It's terrible, but i might actually have to give Apple money for my next phone.

I'm just done with Android at this point.

We had a good run, but it's over.

"They are building walls around my open garden. If I'm going to jail might as well be club fed"

There I fixed it for you.

Fuck apple and fuck Google.

Give me an actual Linux alternative.

Apple is horrible aswell, not just their practices but their interfaces.

And you think apple won't do this too? Hahaha. If apple doesn't it doesn't work for android.

According to Google's docs, they already have as of iOS 16.4.
