Nonono. Google Play Update is managed by Google. Whether vendor permission required to patch, i dont know.

But since your Fon is fine, why you want to update it, usually Google Play update whether latest or not does not interfere with other apps functions

Security

Agreed. Right also. Why didn't I think about that

how do you know your play store is the latest version? :X mine is 44.9

as long as the apss installed on your phone is updatable then ok ma :X

ah, found the link here.

Those not updated to latest system update don't have latest Play Store and Play Services version.

Ok I think people are a bit confused here

So, you got your Android System Update, this is provided by your phone maker, like Xiaomi for example

they have their own version number, and usually this brings Security Patches and also new features/android version

Then, you have Google Play System Update
Not to be confused with Play Store App

This is part of Google Project Mainline

Google is tired of OEMs being slow to push updates, so a part of it is controlled by them and they can push the updates

This can bring new features/fixes
(but also break apps, latest Jan update breaks some modded apps)

Lastly, you have your play store app and it's own updates

The most important thing is all apps are working perfectly without worrying that there's a bug or issues. I'm not even sure if my Google Play update is latest or not

and dont simply click any apk installation and ads on fb is more important :X

if ts really want everything updated, should have bought flaghip most expensive model or google pixel, conlanfirm got update from time to time, else switch to ios :X

For APK I only trust APKPURE the rest I'm not so sure

TS is a cheapskate who wants everything updated without paying an exorbitant price for a flagship phone.

Don't worry too much laa. Hackers won't be so free to target your Fon unless you simply install APK inside

good ruck to you

ApkMirror is fine too, those 2 are the ones I use personally

When I need older versions of sn app, I will download the APK from APKPure, so far all well. No virus or hacked. Is APK mirror safe too ?

my default go to is ApkMirror, it's run by the news site "AndroidPolice", they're safe

APKPure is good too

Agreed. If run by AndroidPolice should be safe. They're trusted site. Thanks
