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?

This is a bass system service/app and will definitely cause problems if removed.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Yeah removing it is a treble idea.

Fish or rhythm section?

So what you're saying is that they shouldn't drop the bass

Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP. Is it a usual Pixel system app?

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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
