I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?

Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google’s Australian store. I have no creditors.

Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

I don’t even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

Edit 1: You can check it’s installed (stock Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search “DeviceLockController”.

I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it’s amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.

    Are you looking at system apps? It’s installed as a system app on my phone using GrapheneOS

    com.android.devicelockcontroller

    Looks like it’s an AOSP app

      I see it on Graphene too, took away its network perms at least.

      Yep, I checked a few places, in the end ClassyShark seemed to be the best place to see everything.

      I don’t doubt it’s part of AOSP, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be left in the ROM.
