+            <p>GrapheneOS will never include either Google Play Services or another implementation
+            of Google services like microG. Those are not part of the Android Open Source Project
+            and are not required for baseline Android compatibility. Apps designed to run on
+            Android rather than only Android with bundled Google apps and services already work on
+            GrapheneOS, so a huge number of both open and closed source apps are already available
+            for it. Open APIs not tied to Google will continue to be implemented using open source
+            providers like the Seedvault backup app. Text-to-speech, voice-to-text, non-GPS-based
+            location services, geocoding, accessibility services, etc. are examples of other open
+            Android APIs where we need to develop/bundle an implementation based on existing open
+            source projects. Compatibility with apps depending on Google APIs / services will be
+            improved by implementing them in a way that pretends Google has stopped existing and
+            the servers are unavailable.</p>
