You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

@jack Just to be sure, this only happens on googlified os? What about ones such as /e/ ?
@ZoidbergForPresident Yes, only "real" google. Graphene, Calyx, /e/OS, Lineage in general and anything with microG instead of GApps should be save.
