With all the recent talk of web apps on Safari, I'd be interested to see a blog post about using iOS without the App Store , relying fully on browser-based apps.
I have an Android, and do not use a Google sign in for secondary devices, as the F-droid app store (plus web apps) have everything I need, except messaging, which appears to be the final boss of vendor lock-in.
- sebtron 3y agoWhat kind of messaging do you need? There are open source sms and Telegram clients on F-Droid, and you can download WhatsApp's apk from their website: https://www.whatsapp.com/android https://www.whatsapp.com/android
- rchaud 3y agoDidn't know about Whatsapp having an APK, that is one I was sure would require Google Play Services. SMS I believe has always worked without requiring a login. Telegram I know about as well, but nobody in my network uses it.
- sebtron 3y agoWhatsapp works fine without play services, I have been using it for a couple of years. Happy surprise for me to :)
