Google is making it mandatory to have Play Services for its next-generation reCAPTCHA system on Android.
-
Your phone will need to be running Play Services version 25.41.30 or greater when the system asks you to scan a QR code for verification.
-
This hurdle means that de-Googled phones will fail the verification test by default.


I have, multiple times, had to take a screenshot, send it to another device, and then display that QR code on that device so I can scan it. Nothing about using phones isn’t a headache.
I’m too lazy to take out the phone from my pocket.
