“Android System SafetyCore’ 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.”
If you don’t want to navigate android settings you can also simply uninstall it from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore
Additionaly you can install this placeholder app to prevent Google from reinstalling it every time it updates: https://github.com/daboynb/SafetyCore-placeholder
Where’s the Settings > Apps > View All Apps > Android System SafetyCore > Uninstall button? Having trouble getting there in one click.
It should be just like any other app installed from play store. It’s different for you?
I’m just joking about the headline saying “One Click Stops It”, because realistically it takes at least five.
Missed that reference :)
The first four don’t stop it.
Just the last (one) click stops it.
Kinda like the Steven Wright joke:
Everyone dies instantly: You’re alive. You’re alive. You’re alive. You’re alive. You’re dead.
I could do it in two clicks:
Click on this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore
Click uninstall
