    I will never use an Iphone, but the idea of Google actually caring about this stuff is ridiculous. The Android playstore is the software equivalent of a failed state.

      The iOS App Store is possibly worse even. A complete cesspool of bottom-feeders, garbage, and anything that’s free gets buried because they only want the money-makers to be seen.

        If you search for an obvious thing like “Messages”, the top result is malware.

    Those apps prevent Google from listening in on your phone’s microphone.
