Firewalls are a great way to tell if new apps are secrely installed
Btw what is the key verifier thing?
These are usually installed as core Google apps on Android, and most flavours have them hidden since they're really just background daemons/libraries.
Gf had the same happen on her Huawei P30 which clearly wasn't set up to have the apps hidden by default.
If youre degoogling obvs not what you wanna have on your device but technically they shouldn't be doing much on their own.
There are functional firewall apps for android? Is Rethink good?
Rethink is better than good. It's great.
Yes, it also let you change your DNS and block websites. There's also invizible pro which also adds tor and i2p but rethink have a better UI.

Yeah I'm super keen, but my lower-tier Samsung isn't supported. I really wish FairPhone would offer a cheaper option :(
Got myself a Pixel 9 pro just to go Graphene... Sold my s24 ultra
