There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/yyv09e/private_compute_services_app/ https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-a/android12-private-compute-services/td-p/15268407 https://techwiti.com/private-compute-services/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/xjbtka/private_compute_service_fails_to_update/ What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
The most reliable way to remove unwanted system packages is using adb. I’m not familiar with this package though, so don’t blame me if this causes issues on your phone :P
This is a bass system service/app and will definitely cause problems if removed.
Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP. Is it a usual Pixel system app?
It is a default Pixel app and is used by Private Compute Core to update the core’s AI models. It’s used by features like Live Caption, Smart Reply, and Now Playing. Just like Private Compute Core, it’s fully open-source: https://github.com/google/private-compute-services
I cleared the app data, restricted background data, restricted app battery usage, removed any permissions, force stopped & disabled this, & it hasn’t re-enabled after a phone restart.
I removed this from my fold 3 and we’re good so far. Mind you this is my “can I degoogle and unsamsung a z fold?” phone.
There is a disable button right there…
What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
