Easy installation procedure of microG+EN

  • /e/ version: 0.13+
  • Device model(s): any

Summary

The procedure to install microG with Exposure Notifications is not obvious. Some users missed the communication and without the guide it is not easy to know one has to go to Apps and search exactly for "microg".

A user on the chat suggested this instead:

K Everets: "If it was up to me, the existing microG on-device would have kept an exposure notification line when touched would say "please install (link to Apps to avoid search problems) to enable Exposure Notifications"

The problem

Steps to reproduce

With 0.13 and default microg, EN is not available and users may not know what is needed to do so.

What is the current behavior?

Users need to install micrg+EN explicitly

What is the expected correct behavior?

The EN line would be there, but saying it requires an extra install and "click here to install". And that would lead to apps with a certain search/filter that just shows microg+EN and the option to install with another click.
