GAPPS have Google Play services and the other one that I can’t think of the name of right offhand mimics play services. I don’t need play services for anything since I run open source software on my device and have not had a Google account in over two years now.
I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google
That’s the one. It just would not come to me in the moment. I don’t have GAPPS or MicroG installed on my device at all. My view is that if an app won’t run without it, then I didn’t need that app to start with.
Edit: Not having those is basically an immunization against crappy apps that want to steal your data and mine you for profit.
