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

One of my free Android apps suddenly started displaying ads, even though I've never given it permission to access the web. How is that possible, exactly? Did it download all the ad content with the update?

QUOTE(Christian J @ Jun 3 2023, 06:15 PM)  Did it download all the ad content with the update? That does not appear to be the case, now I found in App Settings that its data usage increases every time it's started. According to Glasswire, it also uploads around 50-100KB everytime it's used. Perhaps best to uninstall. Lesson for the future: never update apps for no reason. |
