minus-squarecordlesslamp@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoQuick question: what is the advantage of using Aurora to get apps instead of the Play Store? I have Aurora but i don’t understand that, afaik both use the same APKs and can update interchangeably? At first I thought Aurora remove some of the app’s tracking beacons but that’s not the case.

I would even say that some apps got updated even though I’d disabled auto updates. I installed Aurora and disabled Play Store altogether. So I update apps manually whenever I want to.
