Meta services is not a part of any package, but it's an independent package
com.facebook.servicesthat a lot of manufacturers preinstall as a system app, because they get paid for that by meta. The package runs in the background and most meta apps communicate with it, use it for push notifications etc... You can uninstall the app with ADB commandadb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services.If you have
com.facebook.servicesyou may also other meta system packagescom.facebook.systemandcom.facebook.appmanagerpreinstalled on your phone.Note that this doesn't actually uninstall it entirely and is not a permanent solution. The app is still available on the system as root. An update to the OS can bring it back.
My Motorola got an OTA security update that included all three, resulting in them running again.
OMG you are right i uninstalled all Meta apps (besides Whatsapp ofc) and Meta Services is still there.
I do notice however that it does no longer appear in the task manager (probably as it doesn't have any installed app to link to), so for me that's good enough.
*(Should have said this before, but my main issue was that my phone has only 2GB of RAM and Meta Services was the main reason i ran out of menory).
