I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?
Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google's Australian store. I have no creditors.
Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?
I don't even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?
Edit 1: You can check it's installed (~~stock~~ Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search "DeviceLockController".
I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it's amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.
I'm in the US and it's not on my phone and even though it's listed in the Play Store it says it's not available in my region
It says the same thing for me (not listed in the Australian Playstore), but it is installed.
Doesn't seem to be installed on mine. Maybe it's because I'm using a Motorola?
Same with my Motorola. Mine's rooted so I would have uninstalled it anyway.
Found it is present in my Moto g84, Android 14.
The Netherlands here: not installed on my S22 and not available in my region.
NL here too, but 1+8t on OxygenOS 14, and it is installed here. Did you check your system apps?
Another NL user here, not installed on my carrier-bought S23 Ultra, checked system apps as well in both my personal and work profile.
Same, I think my phone is too old to have it.
My phone's only about a year old maybe it's something that just started
