Google stealthily installed a spyware app called "Android System SaftyCore" to android phones to scan pictures without user permission or knowledge. Uninstall here:

You are grossly misrepresenting what that app does.

See the explanatory thread by GrapheneOS linked below. From that thread:

"The app doesn't provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users."

Seems #GrapheneOS users are save.

Non GrapheneOS Android users are also "save" as in that the app in question is no "spyware". There are problems with it (see GrapheneOS' thread) but it spying on users is not one of them.

The people shredding it in the reviews so bad!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚
