The microG services replace Google Play services on your iodé smartphone. They allow you, among other services, to choose Google’s alternative geolocation modules. ‘Positon’ module is selected by default.
‘Google Cloud Messaging’ (GCM) is a push notifications provider; it allows you to receive notifications on your iodé smartphone and a lot of android apps rely on it. We have activated the GCM provider by default, but you can deactivate it from the microG settings panel.
With iodéOS, you can also uninstall any preinstalled apps – including microG – from the setup wizard or any time from Settings > Apps > Preinstalled Apps.
