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.”

    Even with the latest update from Samsung, I am not seeing this app. My OnePlus did get it with the February update and I had to remove it.

      I’m on an ASUS and it didn’t appear in my app list, but when I searched in my settings list it did. So maybe it’s something similar for you.

      Could be for certain markets only. I don´t have it either.
