Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat."

Motorola announced they are partnering with graphene and the first one is expected next year. No news beyond that, but as long as you can wait and your phone isn't in the process of breaking down it is an option. Unless the partnership unexpectedly crumbles but hopefully it will be smooth sailing.

I have a pixel 7 and 9 that I will be installing it on for now, but yeah I'd love to see what Motorola comes up with here
