It's a system app but I had to download it from the Play store. My two choices were: Flag as inappropriate Or to uninstall it. There is not an option to uninstall the last update. And whether it's still a system app or is now an extension? Has it perhaps been assimilated by Borg? I thought it was an important part of a healthy phone, but hey, I've been running a Google Fi guanlet. No WiFi Internet; fugue state kind of coma, exempted from any sort of sane decisions or indemnifying ll·lilscore!

Poor service. Have no idea if your app has anything to do with the service I'm receiving or rather not receiving but lately my service has been the worse it's ever been, being disconnected, service comes and goes and rarely reconnects automatically as it should. I changed carriers still have issues with this app, have no idea how or why it is on my cell. After reading further in About this app, it is connected to Google messages which I do not use or have
