Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Says it's not available in my country, but yet it is install and unremovable.
Have you tried using adb to uninstall, freeze, or otherwise disable it?
Just the firewall block at this stage (I'm Tech savvy, but not that tech savvy). I'll look into it
If it's unremoveable its probably been installed from the beginning.
Did you buy your phone from eBay or amazon? Could be a refurbished overseas model
Nope, directly from the google store.
Hm, weird
Mine isn't installed, but my phone is also out of support and doesn't work on newer Android. So it's probably a more recent thing.
