No, thanks. Here’s an idea Google - how about you keep your greedy paws off the apps I install from different sources, since I have good reasons for doing so?
There’s plenty of good reasons to transfer update ownership to the Play Store, too. Besides, it’s optional. Options are a good thing to have.
If users wanted updates from Play Store, they would install the app from the Play Store.

Aside from self-hate or suicidal tendencies, I fail to see which.
Do they not already? I’m fucking tired of the Play Store “updating” the sideloaded version of the Kindle app (the one that comes from the Amazon App Store and lets you actually buy ebooks) to the version on Google Play (which only lets you read ebooks you bought outside the app).
Yeah, I just did it the other day.
If I didn’t want it to, I’d just turn off automatic updates for that app.
Does the update fail?
You should get a message that you can’t install it and to try again.
does it to an older copy of discord i use all the time.
Nope it does it in the background all on its own and it completes it just fine unfortunately. I found how to disable automatic updates for a specific app now though, so at least I won’t have to worry about it anymore.
That’s crazy to me. My sideloaded Spotify app fails to update.
You can disable all automatic updates.
I don’t want to disable all automatic updates though. I still want my apps to update, I just want the Play Store to stop updating the one app that the Amazon App store should be updating because the version the Play Store installs every time it does is worse.
What’s Play Store?
Oh yeah, that stuff I access with Aurora because it can’t run on my deGoogled cellphone…
