It wasn’t open source, so this isn’t a surprise.

    I’ve seen this warning in a lot of apps, like Teams, Messenger or some authenticators, and some of the time I could simply ignore it and continue using the app. I think some of apps simply use it for push notifications that I can get by without.

    Not all, though. Sometimes it simply doesn’t work.

      If you don’t have google play store or even have it just deactivated you don’t get ads or have limits for some activities in duolingo, as those use gems or whatever else is their virtual currency called, so you get way better experience overall.
      At least it still worked like that about a year ago.

        You can also patch Duolingo with ReVanced manager to remove the third party ads and long animated ads for Duolingo premium or whatever
