Requests the app made today.

This is my phone I own outright, by the way. I don't have any creditors.

Update for those curious:

What app are you using to see this traffic?

Thank you!

codapine ,

Mvp comment there. I checked mine and I am in the US, on a phone I originally bought on credit. I do not have that app installed. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Definitely worth checking out your app list to make sure. I wonder if it accidentally came downstream from AOSP into the alt ROMs, and that's why it's not in my stock, proprietary, US market, flagship Google pixel device.

I am at such a loss, because I can see it in NetGuard, and open it's app details from there, but it doesn't work even appear in system apps in Shelter.

    I find it interesting that yours is com.google.android.devicelockcontroller.

    I checked mine on GrapheneOS and it looks like it's the AOSP version of the package: com.android.devicelockcontroller

    refurbishedrefurbisher ,

    adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

    If you're using Shelter, then in addition to that command, replace --user 0 with --user 10

    You don't need root to do this. You can also uninstall other bloatware using this same method.

    Hero, I just have to get around to doing it 😅 (I will, but grumble, grumble this is why most people don't bother battling for privacy)

    I tried this on a Pixel 7 and am getting:

    panther:/ $ pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

    Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

    I also tried disable and got:

    Cannot disable a protected package: com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

    refurbishedrefurbisher ,

    Ah. I guess you have to have root, then.

    _tezz ,

    New to this depth of phone administration, where are you entering this command? Is there a developer CLI I should be looking for or is this done with a third party app or something?

    refurbishedrefurbisher ,

    Look up "adb" or "Android platform tools" on your favorite search engine. It's something you do on your PC with your phone plugged in.

    _tezz ,

    Right on, thank you!

    You could also give Shizuku a try! Connects to android's adb bridge over WiFi, right from your phone! From there you can use something like termux to shell straight into your phone!

    Can you tell me what is this app?
    Edit, I found it, it's NetGuard
