Another MA resident here. Never opted in and it still shows I'm not. The app was silently installed on my Android. There's no icon so I thought it didn't install at first, until I looked at my app list in settings.

I'm curious to know if there's any MA Android users that previously removed Google Play, and if they still have the app or not. My guess is no?

You cant remove google play in andtoid versions beyond 6 i believe.

You can only disable it

You can also flash a custom ROM and just not install gapps.

Sorry, I was referring to custom ROMs.
