@nullagent@partyon.xyz this post is misinformation, it's the "sensitive content warnings" feature described in this blog post https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/5-new-protections-on-google-messages.html

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @jack@mastodon.sdf.org glad i left standard android and went back to calyx a few months ago it doesnt seem to be in the aosp, its something google adds after, possibly thru play services or some other proprietary blob

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @jack@mastodon.sdf.org I'm currently on the below version (I do have an update pending), and don't have the app. I'll update and let you know if I have it or not. Do we know what the affected versions are?

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @jack@mastodon.sdf.org To me it's not clear what this app does, in particular if it sends data back somewhere. That is the problem. That an OS regularly installs new components seems normal. So once again, people complain about the wrong issues, and I feel this doesn't help, even if it is popular. It doesn't help, because Google can now say, all these complaints have nothing to do with reality, which is not wrong. But instead we should ask for more transparent and easily accessible info. And I'm not saying this App is harmless. I just seem to have difficulties finding info about it.

@nullagent@partyon.xyz This isn't an accurate description of what that Google Mobile Services component does and how it's integrated into the OS.

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @jack@mastodon.sdf.org People shouldn't delete things like this from their phone based on random (and it seems disputed) social media posts. This is the slightly smarter equivalent of "delete System32"

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @jack@mastodon.sdf.org Don't forget to reboot your device after removing the app. Otherwise it's still running.
