Battery Draining by Private Service App on My Phone, Why?

There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. www.reddit.com/r/…/private_compute_services_app/ r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-a/…/15268407 techwiti.com/private-compute-services/ reddit.com/…/private_compute_service_fails_to_upd… What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?

I had to look it up because I don’t have a newer phone, so I don’t have that service app, but according to google it’s part of their privacy and AI stuff

  Remember when Google talked about how they want to use on device machine learning instead of sending personal data to their servers for targeted ads? Thats possibly for that.

The most reliable way to remove unwanted system packages is using adb. I’m not familiar with this package though, so don’t blame me if this causes issues on your phone :P

  Yeaaah, don’t remove that, it’ll probably cause problems.

  This is a bass system service/app and will definitely cause problems if removed.

    Yeah removing it is a treble idea.

    So what you’re saying is that they shouldn’t drop the bass

    Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP.

I removed this from my fold 3 and we’re good so far. Mind you this is my “can I degoogle and unsamsung a z fold?” phone.

I cleared the app data, restricted background data, restricted app battery usage, removed any permissions, force stopped & disabled this, & it hasn’t re-enabled after a phone restart.

Please install some app manger app and give us the full dot name (like com.some.bullshit.app) and your phone brand and modell. We can help better then. Sounds to me like a refresh of the Absolute rootkit skandal, at least it’s not an AOSP app. It must be from your vendor or provider.

  The package name is: com.google.android.as.oss
  
  It’s listed in the Google Play store here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.…
  
  The source code is available on GitHub here: github.com/google/private-compute-services

people say they removed it with adb. no complaints -they say.
probably safe to remove it.
keep a backup of package in case u think u might want to turn on fancy services in the future.
i do not know what it does
