I just noticed there’s an app installed on a recently acquired pixel 4a 5g, “android system intelligence”, which I never found installed on other phones like moto or xiaomi ones.

It also had by default a bunch of permissions granted, which I removes, and only left it with notifications.

Is this a system app I should leave working with more permissions? Should I disable it instead (if possible, I didn’t try)?

Is it required for an android system proper functionality? Is it bad to remove all permissions except by the notifications one? Does this damage functionality?

I’m just suspecting about an “android intelligence” thing.

What have others done about it?

    Thanks ! I have installed LOS 20 on other phones, and none has this thing. I’ll disable notifications on it as well. Unfortunately it can’t be disabled. Not sure why LOS ships it. Perhaps there’s no way to remove it for these phones, who knows…
