TIL new google accounts are now required to be pinned to phone numbers.
@thufie how are you supposed to make a Google account for your new phone while setting it up?
@clf my gf tested this. Seems like making a new account from within Google Apps on an Android phone circumvents this requirement. I am guessing attempting to use a Google iOS app may also allow getting around it.
@thufie @clf probably because it already used the phone number without asking
(people have noticed the lack of a phone number requirement via android, but it's also been said to implicitly use the detected phone number)
@jacksonchen666 @thufie oof, not sure how I feel about that.
