It doesn’t do that by itself. Go on. Do it.
Edit:
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.
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.
