Hey everyone, I recently learned about Aurora Store, a platform that allows you download Play Store apps even if you don’t have Google services, like on Graphene OS. I’m curious if there’s any benefit to using it on my non-rooted device. Any thoughts?
You get access to playstore apps from trusted sources. That’s about it.
And without google tracking your used apps.
When I discovered the Play Store history in my google settings, that creeped me out completely.
Thankfully I had already switched to Aurora and F-Droid by that point
Is there a way to delete that history and start fresh with Aurora? Also is it recommended to download apps that have micro transactions via Aurora?
You should be able to from your Google account, if you head to the “data and privacy” tab in your account settings and go to “Web and app activity”.
Apps with microtransactions may not work if they’re downloaded from Aurora (as far as I know, apps can check what store they’re downloaded from), but it’s worth a try anyway just in case.
