Thankfully the full feature will still work if you get the app from F-Droid

Hopefully this will motivate more people use F-Droid

I noticed that in their info text shown to their users, they don't mention F-Droid. I wonder if google doesn't allow them to mention other stores as part of their "security" policies.

Interesting, Yes I think users should be made aware that if they get the app from F-Droid it will work as intended.

This must be why I never noticed the issue because I have always gotten my apps from fdroid
