I saw it on the first or second of February. Definitely was short notice.

Oh yup, thats works too.

My device has the ability to disable the WiFi + mobile data option for it.

However for apps that actually dont have internet access, they won’t show up in this list.

Same thing with Tracker Controller. The option to disable access is there and apps that actually dont have this access will be marked as no internet access apps.

It may only be for SMS or google messages. It isn’t really clear.

Edit: It seems like the idea was intended for google messages however why they made it into its own app I wouldn’t know. It seems they made it to be opt out as said in the Android Authority article. Maybe having it as a separate app is what makes it “opt out”. Whatever its for. I certainly dont need it.

Yup, it seems its only able to be found on the store via link. Like most system apps. Hidden away.

That there is pretty much the extent of an “announcement” from them.

I’ll actually include this link in the original post. Thanks.

👍

I guess “downloads” are really just how many phones have it. 🙄
