Where is Google Play Store App - I can't search it, But it regularly Updates itself. I hate the fact you can swipe your icon to a different account - Who uses this, not me, But it just does it, randomly Annoying. The app does so many things as well as update your Apps now. I do wish certain Apps from Google weren't hidden as System ones 'cause it's hard to check/change the Permissions for them. My phone Always has Remove Permissions If Unused - hopefully that doesn't apply to System ones? 5⭐👍

I'm getting spammed with notifications saying "[Messages/Google One/Google Play store] won't run unless you update Google Play services". There's no option to update it anywhere within Google Play and it's starting to pop up every 15-30 seconds, making my phone almost unusable. Maybe a flip phone would be better.

This app is being corrupted by attackers because once it takes root, so to speak, it's plugged into every Google service on your phone. This is extremely problematic being that Android is Google. Haha it installs custom ROM and will deny access to settings the hacker needs in place for their scripts to run properly. Unless you are a capable tech person who can use ADB platform, resets, email and password changes, settings alterations are all essentially pointless because it is now a cloned VM.
