• 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.

    So wait a moment. How can the browser even check if play services are installed? And scanning a QR code is just accessing the camera, what does that have to do with Play Services?
