When I installed an app I discovered I had another newly installed app that I have NOT downloaded. Youtube Music. And it can't be uninstalled, there is no such option. ninja.gif

So I guess Google now forces apps for their different services on Android users. Anyone else got this without installing it yourselves?

Does it say it's newly installed, or didn't you discover it until now? Could it be that some other app has downloaded it, some apparently have such permissions. Or have you installed any newer Android (or vendor bloat) versions around the same time as Youtube Music?

Both. It came up among new apps when I looked for the one I did install. It isn't that long since I last installed something, so it probably happened sometime the last few weeks.
