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

But I removed that app via ADB and my device works just fine

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months 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

Yeah removing it is a treble idea.

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

Fish or rhythm section?
