About this app

Private Compute Services helps improve features inside Android’s Private Compute core - like Live Caption, Now Playing, and Smart Reply.
Android prevents any feature inside the Private Compute Core from having direct access to the network; but machine learning features often improve by updating models. Private Compute Services helps features get these updates over a private path. Features communicate over open-source APIs to Private Compute Services, which removes identifying information and uses a set of privacy technologies, including federated learning, federated analytics, and private information retrieval, to preserve privacy.
The source code for Private Compute Services is published online at https://github.com/google/private-compute-services

Ratings and reviews

Eh, I'm not sure when I downloaded this app, or it just appeared on the phone for an update. I realized my battery was draining very fast, and my phone was having issues while charging (saying "slow charge, try another charger"). So I'm on the phone's system and found a lot of unnecessary apps that I've never downloaded. Everything is un-installed, and I hope that this one was the only issue. I've been charging my phone for a whole two weeks. I would also like more information about this app.

The Play Store somehow switched the app update settings to 'auto', and this app updated(it was pre installed, and could not uninstall it, thus never updated it). Now, the battery on my phone drains to 22% overnight, after a full charge, with no apps running! Before this update, I could leave one app open OVERNIGHT and could still get at least 3 days of battery before it even hit 45% charge level. This app is awful and is probably also the reason I have to reboot before I can dial out. Fix it!!

I have noticed lately that I would have a notification for a missed call when I pull down on the notification panel, but once I try to check the missed call out, it is just magically gone. This happened 3 times today, so then I did a little bit of BTS cause it seemed strange. That's when I found that this UNWELCOMED APP apparently needed an update. I know, for sure, that I never downloaded this app. I tried uninstalling, but wouldn't ya know it acts as if it can only be updated, not uninstalled.
