Other stores
There are several reasons to use a different app store than Google Play, for instance that
- your device doesn't have Google Play, or
- you can't use Google Play for some reason, or
- you don't want a Google account, or
- you just don't want to use Google Play.
Then you can use one of these alternative app stores:
Privacy notes
amazon appstore modifies (adds trackers and other functions) and re-signs the .apk.
Huawei AppGallery modifies the .apk and adds DRM, too.
Google Play doesn't need to do that because it is a system app and they can do anything directly.
