This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone.

Entirely on my phone?

Why did my firewall ask if I wanted to allow it internet access?

[bobs_monkey@lemm.ee]

I wonder if it's a 15 thing. I updated to 15 last week, and sure enough, it was in my system apps. Easy enough to install, but what the fuck. I really need to get myself a pixel and install GOS.

If you want to uninstall it (and a lot of other crap) and you don't have root, a combination of Shizuku (https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku) and Canta (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.samo_lego.canta/) will let you do that.

BE CAREFUL THOUGH! Uninstalling random apps can brick your phone - do your research and make sure it's safe before you delete stuff willy-nilly!

[knolord@lemmy.zip]

Oh thank you! Had it on my phone without any notifications or anything else to tell me that!

Am an EU resident, so that's very worrisome to say the least.

[daggermoon@lemmy.world]

Is it on Android 15 only? I've been procrastinating updating.

[solrize@lemmy.world]

Do not want! But I don't see it on my phone, at least so far. Fairly stock Moto G series with Android 14.

[zecg@lemmy.world]

It needs fresh dick hashes for up to date dick recognition

[dabaldeagul@feddit.nl]

Recocknition, if you will

[thisismyname@lemm.ee]

It didn't appear in my apps list and yet if I looked at the link to the play store it said it was installed... maybe double check you don't have it by looking it up on the play store as well. Fishy to say the least

[zefirpo@feddit.it]

Thank you! I wasn't aware of it! Un-installed now

[ricdeh@lemmy.world]

Thanks, uninstalled

[raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world]

/laughs in de-googled LineageOS.

[octoblade@lemmynsfw.com]

Laughs in GrapheneOS and/or phone running Linux.

[pullpantsunsworn@lemmy.ml]

Your dumb phone is much insecure than a smartphone which has GrapheneOS or LineageOS. Your dumb phone certainly lacks secure 4G or 5G communication, cannot use e2e encrypted messaging platforms and cannot update firmware in case of security bugs.

[greenappletree@lemmy.world]

Same phone, same OS. Try going to the last link from the post. That'll take you to the Store page. If it says "uninstall" then you didn't look hard enough. (Neither did I, tbh. I forgot to hit "show system apps")

[ultimate@lemm.ee]

Laughs in CalyxOS. Muhahha.

[greenappletree@lemmy.world]

Unfortunately not. Showed up on my 14

[carl@lemm.ee]

tfw I've never been warned about nudes in my text messages

[silentknightowl@slrpnk.net]

If you're using Google messages, they're definitely already doing so
