Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I update Google Play Services?

Check for updates to Google Play Services by going to “Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all xx apps -> Google Play Services.}

If there’s an available update for Play Services, you’ll see it on this screen.

2. Can I get the Google Play Services beta?

Yes. If you want to play around with the latest Play Services features and be on the frontline of what the app has to offer, you can become a tester for the app by registering at this page.

3. Is Google Play Services spying on me?

Sort of, yes, though how nefarious you consider it really depends on your feeling about Google’s data harvesting, which is very much a part of its MO. Tons of apps – from Maps to WhatsApp and even your phone app – “phone home” to Play Services to let it know what you’re up to. To avoid this, you really need to “de-Google” your phone, which is too much to tackle here in this space.

4. Can I delete Google Play Services?

You can with a rooted phone, but at that point will lose access to those Google privileges, like the Play Store, Google Maps, and basically all Google apps as well as many third-party ones. Basically, it’s a big commitment – even a lifestyle choice – and not something to be taken lightly.

Now that you’ve hopefully fixed your battery drain issues, why not have some fun by making your Android look like an iPhone.
