Choice is one of the biggest strengths of Android, to the point where you can even ditch the Google Play Store for a third-party alternative. Aptoide has been one popular app store for Android users, but recently it’s suffered a huge data breach.
The past couple of years have seen Google under scrutiny for being anti-competitive. Now, a third-party app store by the name of Aptoide is asking Google to “Play Fair” with third-party app stores on Android and open up user choice.
Following the US blacklist of Huawei, the biggest issue facing the company is software. To offer its users a place to download Android apps following the loss of the Google Play Store, Huawei may bolster up its in-house “AppGallery” market, and it’s also apparently in talks with Aptoide as a replacement.
