        As others have said, manufacturer telemetry. Just the usual built-in spyware that people are fine with for some reason… Everyone does it, they’re just bad at hiding it in this case.

          Removing it can cause a bootloop in some cases, likely something in the boot process is looking for it and reinstalling that app if missing. Google’s play services recently started doing that with permissions that are revoked with root

          Should be removable on a non-stock ROM though

      Yes, it’s the newer version of the two. OP has an older device
