User reviews
App is automatically installed even though i do not own a Pixel 9 for my apps and data to trasfer to, which could be a possible privacy concern if misused intentionally or not. Runs in the background, as found by a running apps manager, with no way to completely uninstall Android Switch from my phone which forces it to run in the background. Not happy about these new pre-installed unremovable Google LLC app roll-outs on first boot of devices when new.

Jonathan Taylor, 2024-11-27This recently popped up on my ph after a factory update. As I was clearing the games it added and the random apps I could delete. I take notes. It's a shame I need to but I pay attention to the ones with the permissions they really want don't need. I had one of these similar apps delete my SD CARD. Uninstal the update then force stop. We don't need 10 of the same or similar apps that do same thing. I prefer the option to choose the apps that work best for my phone. Good luck

Rene Cassell, 2024-11-27Idk how this app all of a sudden appeared in my phone but I never downloaded it. What makes it even more odd is that It doesn't appear on my list of installed apps in Google Play store and on top of everything else I don't even own a pixel 9.
