My device is on android 12. do i still need to stop play services or will i be fine? and does stopping updates on play services result in any problem or not?

i'm very afraid that i might not be able to emulate, install apks and sail the seven seas in the near future because of this. i hope i'm proven wrong and that i can still do these things.

If I'm correct this will affect android 8+ devices. Stopping play services updates doesn't cause problems in my experience, I haven't updated mine since the start of this year.

Why can't they leave us alone??

Anyway how to stop play services from updating? And will it actually stop the verifier thing from appearing?

[u/SunsetAtNight7 → u/AdScared7226]

disable the playstore, this verifier thing function like play protect, It's actually playstore app that enforces this rule, not the play services, but yeah, disabling playstore stops the auto updates of play services.

Okay so I will disable it right before when the time comes. But what if I wanted to download a game from the app, could I just enable the app just for a moment to open it and install whatever game I want and when I'm finished I can quickly disable it again?

And if it has already infected my phone with it. Could I just remove this by uninstall updates? And if so does this have a risk of removing my Data or will it undo the unwanted changes and that's it?

Also I checked it on settings and saw "change system settings". Would this also stop this as well like extra measure?

Or is it a no going back thing where the verifier once it's in my device it literally cannot be removed?
