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. https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/yyv09e/private_compute_services_app/ https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-a/android12-private-compute-services/td-p/15268407 https://techwiti.com/private-compute-services/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/xjbtka/private_compute_service_fails_to_update/ What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
I had to look it up because I don’t have a newer phone, so I don’t have that service app, but according to google it’s part of their privacy, machine learning and AI stuff

Not sure what it means if that app has high battery drain though, could be legitimate uses, could not be. I don’t know any further than identifying what the service app does.
Remember when Google talked about how they want to use on device machine learning instead of sending personal data to their servers for targeted ads? Thats possibly for that.
The most reliable way to remove unwanted system packages is using adb. I’m not familiar with this package though, so don’t blame me if this causes issues on your phone :P
Yeaaah, don’t remove that, it’ll probably cause problems.
This is a bass system service/app and will definitely cause problems if removed.
Yeah removing it is a treble idea.
Fish or rhythm section?
So what you’re saying is that they shouldn’t drop the bass
Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP. Is it a usual Pixel system app?
It is a default Pixel app and is used by Private Compute Core to update the core’s AI models. It’s used by features like Live Caption, Smart Reply, and Now Playing. Just like Private Compute Core, it’s fully open-source: https://github.com/google/private-compute-services
But I removed that app via ADB and my device works just fine
I cleared the app data, restricted background data, restricted app battery usage, removed any permissions, force stopped & disabled this, & it hasn’t re-enabled after a phone restart.
Wait for a system update…😉
I removed this from my fold 3 and we’re good so far. Mind you this is my “can I degoogle and unsamsung a z fold?” phone.
Please install some app manger app and give us the full dot name (like com.some.bullshit.app) and your phone brand and modell and provider if bought over one. We can help better then.
Could be a refresh of the Absolute rootkit scandal, at least it’s not an AOSP app. It must be from your vendor or provider.
The package name is:
com.google.android.as.ossIt’s listed in the Google Play store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.as.ossThe source code is available on GitHub here:
https://github.com/google/private-compute-services
people say they removed it with adb. no complaints -they say.
probably safe to remove it.
keep a backup of package in case u think u might want to turn on fancy services in the future.
i do not know what it doesThere is a disable button right there…
What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
Sounds like malware
And it looks to be unusable
