What is it that doesn't work with MicroG?
- jeroenhd 5y agoAnything safety net-related, for one. When I tried it last (years ago), WhatsApp didn't work reliably. I think Signal worked well enough though. Anything using Google's (and Apple's) private COVID contact tracing API also won't work. There's also the obvious compatibility bugs (because even Google themselves can't get their own software 100% compatible reliably), often related to the Google maps API from what I can tell from stories online. There's an extensive list here [0] on the /e/ forum, though I'm not sure how up to date it is. The comments seem to go on for up to quite recently, however.
