As we all know, Android is an operating system that offers some freedom to its users. For this reason, it is not uncommon to find alternative app stores to the official Google Play Store. One of the most used and loved it’s Aurora Store, an open replacement for Google’s store.
In this we can log in anonymously, although some users prefer to use their own Google account. In these cases, the store itself has warned us of the possibility of banal, Well, the search engine giant does not accept such a practice. Everything was fine, but the risk became a possibility, and the possibility became a fact. NOW, some users report that Google has deleted their account
Google starts enforcing a ban on these Aurora Store-exclusive accounts
Aurora Store is an Open Source alternative, so we can view the source code as well as make modifications and forks. This alternative shop keep us from the claws of Googleforgetting the services that invade our privacy.
That’s why it was chosen as the main app store by many users, but it is about to change. The problem has become a nightmare for some, because as we can read on Reddit, Google started deleting accounts used for stay in Aurora Store and thus connect with the servers of the American company.
The first signs of this banal widespread took place three days ago, directly on the same site, the famous social bookmarking site Reddit. In this case, the user had created a new Google account, and after two hours of use
It seems that Google is running out of patience, and it’s true that with this practice He only defends his interests.. If you want to use your own store, use the official client, or search engine offices will think so. In this o ther article, it is confirmed that these deletions only occur on new accounts, used exclusively in the Aurora store.
From now on, it will be better to log in anonymously or create an account without sensitive data.
SO, following user recommendation, it is better to avoid using our personal account, so as not to lose all the associated elements (Gmail, Google Photos, our calendar, our contacts, etc.). We have two alternatives: either we create Google accounts each time they delete it, or we access it anonymously. Well, despite the fact that the affected accounts were one-time use for the alternative store, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Anyway, we have to be more careful when using this type of unofficial alternatives, because always involves a risk. This does not include other types of stores that use their own servers and repositories, so others like F-Droid are protected.
