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...

Every device is different, but usually Settings > Biometrics and Security > Google Play system update

Not that I'm aware of, but it's best practice to keep your stuff updated

Got the latest one. Nothing's wrong. I don't want to be exposed to random exploits or something. Google sucks, but this is the next best thing for people who are unable to deGoogle.
