Put your phone in a Faraday bag for an extended period of time, then check what kind of ads you get.

Update Google Play Services through Aurora Store? (lemmy.world)

I'm running a version of Android called OxygenOS, and there was a GPS update available in the Aurora Store. However, when I attempted to install it, a message appeared:

"This app normally receives updates from Google Play Store. By updating from a different source, you may receive future updates from any source on your phone. App functionality may change."

I'm concerned that updating the GPS through Aurora might cause issues with some of my other applications, particularly those I've paid for. Is it safe to go ahead with the update?
