microG is a part of the /e/ROM. For users who want to continue using applications that require the Google infrastructure but do not want their data spied upon, microG is a good plan B.
That being said not all apps work well with microG. There have been a lot of queries from users regarding what works and does not work on the /e/ OS with microG enabled .
In this editable list pl share names of apps that work and do not work with microG.
We hope this will be helpful for new and existing users to decide if they want to switch to /e/ OS or continue using their stock ROM.
The idea is to add names of only apps which are not standard /e/OS applications like social media apps.
