Very concerning news - Google Play is going to ban non-custodial wallet apps for US and EU users, on December 2025. That's in just four months.
This seems to be part of the broader trend of companies and government attacking privacy.
Alternate app stores are required immediately.
To be honest, I've never downloaded a crypto wallet from play store because I don't trust it, it's so full of scam services that I prefer to manually visit official websites of wallets like electrum.org and download APK from their website or visit the official Play Store link from there.
Android is an open-source. The good thing about this is that we can download APK files and install them anyway.
This will enable phishing campaigns on an unprecedented scale.
Many people will lose their funds because they do not know where to download wallet APKs and verify PGP signatures.
These many people have to learn something. I don't really understand how people do not check sources multiple times. When I download something or when I send coins from my wallet to another, I triple check everything and before I do something, I try to learn everything from head to toe. I'll never understand those who aren't this much interested into what they do and do things blindly. I'll never understand those people who click on the first search engine result instead of checking other results too to make a proper decision.
