Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”
Don’t use Google Play. Prefer Obtanium, F-Droid or Aurora Store.
Though just not using it makes no difference. You need to remove Play Store and Play services to orevent them from tracking you and managing your apps.
Tracking maybe, but how is the Play Store managing my apps?
Incidentally, Aurora Store is unable to find this particular app.
Sure it can:
