Do you know the Android app with highest number of downloads? Well, it's not Facebook, it's not whatsapp, it's not your Gmail, it's not even messenger or Instagram... Hell NO. You will be amazed to know the app because most people ignore it but it's there in all Android phones. In fact, it's a must-have app.
So the app with highest number of downloads in playstore is "Google Play Services". Yes. It has surpassed 5Billion downloads, making it the first ever app on Playstore to reach that milestone.
This app is so important that if you remove it from your phone, your can will useless or start malfunctioning. There is a high possibility that you have thought about disabling this app at one point only to discover that your android device can’t live without it.
Whether you like it or not, you must install the app once you are using an android phone because you have no choice but to install it.😂
What are the functions of the app, you ask? Asides from being used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play, it is also responsible for the push notifications you get. It also provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services.” Basically, if you uninstall/remove Google Play Services from your phone, many apps would stop working and your phone would be quite useless.

It must be stated that the usefulness of this great app can not be over emphasized.

ReplyDeleteOur esteem readers had resolved that such little typographical errors should be ignored.
DeleteEach time i search in Google Playstore for this app from my phone, it won't be displayed among the listed apps.
ReplyDelete.. Though the app will constantly be updating itself whenever there is an update.
Yes you are right

WELL, GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES IS INDEED ‘FORCEFUL’ BUT GOOGLE HAS THE RECORD FOR NOW
ReplyDeleteNot surprising at all as the app is an integral part of the Android functionality system.
ReplyDeleteto my own opinion I feel like our phone can't live without google play service. Otherwise it's probably a brick with just call and text functionality.
ReplyDeletewithout google play service it look like we are using a touch light phone because all the app needed in our device are inside it.
ReplyDelete"Google Play services is used to update google apps and apps from Google Play. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services. Google Play services also enhances your app experience. It speeds up offline searches, provides more immersive maps, and improves gaming experiences.Apps may not work if you uninstall Google Play services."
ReplyDeleteone most important about Google play service is that google play services will check for any update hitting google play store server for the apps installed in the system or google play store server pushes the notification on updates related to the apps installed??
ReplyDeleteBut there is one probably more important purpose of Google Play Services, and that is locking down Android by Google. Just like many other essential parts of Google's version of Android, Google is making them exclusive to it's version of Android which makes open-source title more a fairy tale than reality. But Google Play Services go one step beyond just shipping exclusive appsand app store. As it makes important APIsavailable only on Google's Android, it makes much harder to port apps from Google's Android to non-Google's Android.I must say thatthis is a good business logic,and I don't mind it. Just I do mind that people are tricked into that they are using open source and Google Play Services is released for their own benefit.
ReplyDeletePeople have done it in the past especially to test how much better the battery life would be without all the Google services and from what I recall the differences were negligible. Which is something I found very surprising but that was a test I read from forever ago.
ReplyDeleteFrom the web...."Google Play services is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services."
ReplyDeleteGoogle Play Services also exposes a whole host of APIs like Maps etc that apps can use. Basically if you uninstall/remove Google Play Services from your phone, many apps would stop working and your phone would be quite useless. It's possible of course to have a phone without play Services, but you'd find it a very different experience.
ReplyDeleteI want to think that it's a major achievement, but on the other hand I can't help but remember it comes installed on every Android phone with Google services. I'm torn. However,it is an indicator of just how widespread the Android OS has become, and how much of the world Google has dominance over. However good or bad that may be. Either way it's quiteimpressive. 5 billion people is 3/4 of the world's population.
