The list of apps that want to invade your privacy populates itself?
Anyone tried waydroid or android in an emulator for these type of apps ?

Small OT: In the article it's mentioned also the app "IO" (italian for the english word "I"). There are also other important italian apps not working without play services. The serious thing is that that apps are almost mandatory to do the ordinary public administration bureaucracy. We can say that the italian state forces its citizens to use a smartphone with Google Play Services installed. This is no sense.

Are there any checker apps to see which of user's installed apps have this? Looking up "Play Integrity API" only finds the checkers for the phone itself...
