When I go on Snapchat it give me a pop up saying "This app won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone." I tried to download Google Play Services from the app store, but still get that message. I am still able to use Snapchat without it, so that's a bit confusing.

You can only choose between Apple Store and Google Play. For now those few apps is the only reason to switch to Jolla.

I can just ignore the message by tapping above or under the dialog box. That way I can just use snapchat.

I realize this is a late message, considering when this was posted, but if any of you are still having this issue, simply visit http://randomi.info/p/jolla/com.google.android.gms-(3.1.36).apk and install that.. it'll fix the play services issue.
I just tested it on mine, and chrome will install and launch fine.. it didn't seem to want to load any webpages however. I don't have time to investigate further.
The apk just gives you the google settings and services icons and fixes the annoying prompt issue.

you can download it from aptoide store but often google services crash!
michdeskunk ( 2014-01-16 16:38:49 +0300 )edit@coderus Google Play and Google Play Services are not the same. I had to install both Google Play and this apk to be able to use the public transport ticket app for Copenhagen.
Tanghus ( 2015-03-07 20:23:41 +0300 )editIt's not same, but you can't install play store without installing google services framework, and main google play article is fully covering your question
coderus ( 2015-03-07 20:25:43 +0300 )editOK, then it may have been edited since I followed the howto. After having installed the app I mentioned using Google Play, I got an error "Google Services not available" - or something like that - when launching the app. After installing the apk linked to below, everything worked.
Tanghus ( 2015-03-07 20:56:27 +0300 )editThen try to add suggestion to bigget question and take attention on your problem.
