I haven't noticed this on my Android but I never even sign in to Google Play on them anymore. I just install F-Droid and Aurora store (for those apps which aren't FOSS).
I think this stops a lot of Google's skullduggery. Of course a google-free ROM is even better for privacy but I think this is a nice middle ground.
The good thing is that this way firebase notifications still work, but are not linked to my account (similar to using MicroG).
But it hasn't complained about F-Droid, not asked me to 'continue setting up' or anything. I do this on a OnePlus and a Samsung. YMMV of course.
- defanor 5y agoI've observed it on Samsung, Galaxy A8; sounds like it varies from model to model then. And it didn't complain about F-Droid in particular, just its setup routine involves configuration of Google Play (signing in with Google).
