My question is, does it install as a stand alone app? Or is it part of a Google Play update chunk that you only find out after Play has updated? My system does not auto update (by design) so I'd like to know where it sources from.

I've just given it the boot from my phone.
It doesn't appear to have been doing anything yet, but whatever.

Don't use Google Play. Prefer Obtanium, F-Droid or Aurora Store.
Though just not using it makes no difference. You need to remove Play Store and Play services to orevent them from tracking you and managing your apps.

Interestingly I don't have it on my stock samsung phone. I haven't updated it since oneui 6. Is safetycore installed by update or by GMS?
What a pile of fuck.
What about the "Android System Intelligence" app that someone else mentioned here? I just realized I have that one. It sounds like it has the capabilities to spy and maybe even more.
