Lol fair enough. I appreciate the honesty haha
I get it now! From what I was able to tell, some phones update automatically but don't reboot, some do update automatically but not as frequently and some don't update automatically at all.
Oh yes, that's true
Me when capitalism
Ok? Not sure what I'm supposed to say to that.

Tem várias alternativas, mas eu recomendo apenas as open source como Eternity, Jerboa, Voyager...
Cara ela tá tão na sua
For some weird reason it doesn't update automatically all that much.
I think every phone does that. What I'm referring to specifically is the Google Play system, which is different from the Google Play Services. Google Play services is part of the Google Play system.
The Google Play system, often referred to as Google System Updates, is a framework for delivering updates to core components of Android devices. It includes updates to the Android operating system, Google Play Store, and Google Play services, focusing on improving security, reliability, and adding new features. This system was introduced with Android 10 and is available on compatible devices, including phones, tablets, and wearables.
Sure, there is a lot to be said about Google being a privacy nightmare, but Google Play system updates don't release every other day; they're actually pretty stable.
If you're able to run a privacy friendly ROM and escape Google do it. But for most people (99,99% of Android users) it is in their best interest to keep their system updated – even if those updates come from Google.
I gave one example, which is the one you scrutinized. There are many reasons why someone who is running an Android (not de googled) device would want to update their Google Play system, however. Just search up what those are for.
Not sure why people are getting so butthurt over this.
My device is not supported officially by any privacy ROMs. I'd rather have some security than expose myself to random threats because of pride lol
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...
Based :)
Edit: Why is this getting downvoted? You people are weird.
This is your reminder to manually update your Google Play System
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.
