For my degoogled android, I am uninstalling bloatwares using adb. Now, I even decided to remove Play Store and use Aurora Store and Obtainium; but haven’t touched Google Play Service.

Everything was running smoothly till I recently installed ChatGPT Android; but the app is not even starting, and shows the message you need Play Store or Update it.

Is their any way around for it.

I am considering microG but not aware how those tech work; also no intention for rooting my phone

    Was a while since to tried to do it by removing. but removing stuff is not as good as starting without them. Easiest way is to flash a custom ROM. Then you can add play compatibility with MicroG or playservices isolated by apps or GOS ( if you have the right phone that’s it).

    You don’t need root to run a custom ROM or run MicroG. You might need to root to flash everything depending on your phone , but no need to re enable it afterwards.
