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?
You didn’t install gapps? I assumed it came with gapps on my device, as I use google services. At any rate, it provides for several features that the devs likely decided people want access to.
As I mentioned in another comment, I was able to disable it without trouble.
Using official lineageos+microg here. I had android system intelligence installed and i noticed when it recognized a song while watching tv. I was able to uninstall it via aurora store
No, I don’t install gapps. I see, and yes, I can confirm I can disable it, :)
