This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Thanks for bringing this up, first I've heard of it. Not present on my GrapheneOS pixel, present on stock.
I suppose I should encourage pixel owners to switch from stock to graphene, I know which decide I rather spend time using. GrapheneOS one of course.
Fuck these cunt
Well then I hope they like seeing my butthole.
My older brother swipes through your phone's photos without asking, so I put some colonoscopy pictures in there. He hasn't tried to look at photos on my phone since.
Oh Google what have you done to yourself.
Hope they like all my dick pics
Don't worry they won't!

I just un-installed it
Anyone know what Android System Intelligence does? Should that be un-installed as well?
You can safely uninstall System Intelligence if you don't need it. My phone has worked fine without it in the past year.
Jesus Christ they're like bed bugs
Is it too much to ask that my phone only contain the shit that makes it work, and not anything else?
First result of DDG search, explains it quite well: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-system-intelligence-3325187/
I switched over to GrapheneOS a couple months ago and couldn't be happier. If you have a Pixel the switch is really easy. The biggest obstacle was exporting my contacts from my google account.
GrapheneOS — an Android security developer — provides some comfort, that SafetyCore “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.”
It didn't appear in my apps list so I thought it wasn't installed. But when I searched for the app name it appears. So be aware.
Seems to be innocuous, but there's no harm in removing it. Next update, it'll be returned, so the better solution long-term will be (if you're rooted) is to use an application to freeze it, which effectively disables it and it should survive and update. If you delete the app, a new update will put it back.
I'd that what's killing my fucking battery like crazy lately?
Now that you say that, my battery was draining fast the past couple of weeks. It would last maybe a day. It lasts 2 days again now.
same here, i was wondering why my Op12r was draining like super fast, for a phone touthing 2+days battery(and im not even playing games or videos on it), yet it was draining as fast as an old pixel phone.
Even with the latest update from Samsung, I am not seeing this app. My OnePlus did get it with the February update and I had to remove it.
I see it on my S25 Ultra.
SafetyCore Placeholder so if it ever tries to reinstall itself it will fail due to signature mismatch.

The app reviews are a good read.
