I am. But you need having play store enabled and connected to an account to use chatgtp or deepseek from aurora. Basically they were popping up the play store to connect to a google account, so i deleted them. Some apps are tied strongly to google services that they check the play store connection.
I don't know if MicroG fixes that but i need to root my phone or some other stuff that i won't gonna do right now. In 3 months the phone is losing the warranty and i gonna just move to LineageOS.
