The app ID is com.google.android.verifier, which I assume will be used for the upcoming developer verification program for installing 3rd party apps.

Starting September 30, developers (signing authors) need to be verified from Google to distribute apps in the following app stores:

• Google Play Store
• Honor App Market
• OPPO App Market
• Samsung Galaxy Store
• Transsion Palm Store
• vivo V-Appstore and
• Xiaomi GetApps

only in the countries of Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.

F-Droid is not included for this time.

It is planned to be rolled out globally across all markets/app stores by January of 2027.

I used App Manager (io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager) for the screenshot; you can use your regular 'Installed Apps'/'Apps' menu to see if it's been rolled out automatically for you as well.

edit: First link was originally a typo, my bad. Fixed it.

Since the family didn’t want to turn off RCS, I completely changed the app instead😂😂😂

Working on integrating Exodus Privacy data directly into LibreFind. Right now the app suggests FOSS alternatives, but soon it will also show you exactly which ad/analytics trackers and dangerous permissions are embedded inside the proprietary apps you're replacing.

Still wiring it up, but test builds will be up on Codeberg soon.

I'm thinking of selling my pixel 8 and before doing that I know I should wipe the phone entirely. I am cautious when it comes to handling my data like writing 0s to HDDs (even multiple times with some randomness) on PC whenever I'm handing them out. But I'm not sure about phones.
