Neutral Point of View?[edit]

The lede cites Google as saying that this Google "app" has been "downloaded" a billion times. IMO this is a misleading statement. The "app" actually comes bundled with the Android OS and is also unavoidably downloaded as part of the OS "upgrading" that the Android OS carries out. In normal-speak, the "app" could more accurately be described as being broadcast to all Android devices. It is not downloaded by users. While an option of sorts is available not to upgrade the OS of Android devices there is no ability to sort those aspects of the upgrade that are "enhancements" and those that address bugs and security flaws etc. With Play Services Google has attached a security function (remote disabling of lost devices) with its core play/tracking functionality. The term "app" as applied here is also misleading imo as this is not an "app" in the way the term would be recognised by users but rather a sub-program/sub-programs of the OS (i.e a background service). The article seems not to have an NPOV. LookingGlass (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I switched to "installed" from "downloaded". If you feel there's other points that need to be clarified feel free. Shaded0 (talk) 22:33, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the 'Services' section read like a marketing press release from Google? 69.172.169.24 (talk) 16:26, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Google Play services in China[edit]

Can someone discuss use of Google Play services in China and the restrictions and use of apps that require these said services — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.48.202.88 (talk) 01:57, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
