Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.
-
Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.
-
This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.
A reminder that there are alternatives to reCAPTCHA. It is not the only solution, or even likely the best solution.
And if people are not even able to attempt to get to your site, you’re going to look for an alternative, several of which are essentially drop-in replacements.
