There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?

    A simple way to deal with it is finding its package name using either internet or App Manager from F-Droid, and using ADB on a computer with USB debugging on, using this command:

    adb shell pm disable-user <PACKAGENAME>

    Packages disabled using ADB cannot be enabled without manual user confirmation or via IPC between apps.

    Enjoy this hack!

    Note: the “disable” App Info button lacks the advantages I mentioned above and is almost useless for some of these system packages.
