It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".

You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.

Security, privacy, user experience - these are all terms that have been and remain non-existent in their vocabulary.

And thus the evolution from walled gardens to echo chambers. A place where the "sunk cost fallacy" continues to grow and be absorbed by more and more people.

Should have at the very least been a mini-series. Isabella Rosellini too got screen time that was entirely undeserving of her incredible talent.
