Can anybody explain better, please?

Google didn't tell Android users much about Android System SafetyCore before it hit their phones, and people are unhappy. Fortunately, you're not stuck with it.

So, yes my cheap old phone had Android System Safety Core installed, I need to clean my parents' devices tomorrow. I learned about this spyware here in Mastodon.

@wiert No idea if this is related, but just after the last Android update on my Samsung A53, almost every file on the SD card on the phone vanished. Years of stuff gone. Managed to get my photos back from cloud stuff, but so much more gone. I've now done the 'remove #AndroidSystemSafetyCore' thing, so maybe it'll leave my personal stuff the fuck alone going forward... Not confident though!

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. For more information, see:

Ojo con esto, porque yo ya lo tenía instalado. Google está instalando la app #AndroidSystemSafetyCore para escanear todas las imágenes del dispositivo.
