Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”
hmm, i looked it up myself and it doesnt seem to say its installed for me there. Cant find it by searching on my phone, only on my pc through search engine. But someone on comments there brought a good point by telling that his some old phone basically bricked because of this due to it being incompitable.
I also have fairphone, though i’m not sure if that really is the reason. Maybe they are indeed gradually installing it then.
