So it seems that Google got too excited in installing their new app called Google Settings on Android devices that they missed out on informing the users about it even in the form of a simple notification.
So what exactly does this app do? Not a whole lot actually. It’s basically just a portal to your Google+ account and the other accounts/apps that are connected to it via Google+ sign-in. Google Settings also provides quick access to your Location preferences for Maps and Latitude, Search and Ads.
Google Settings is part of the search giant’s push to increase the awareness on their recently announced service coined Google+ Sign-in which, in essence, is similar to what Facebook has done. It allows users to sign in to third-party apps and services using their Google+ credentials, lessening the stress of remembering multiple passwords in the process.
People who are on Google+ amay find this app a bit useful, but for those who are not, it’s nothing but an app with green icon that will likely be left in the dark corner of their app drawer or worse uninstalled.
invasion of privacy ginawa nila. talagang kaya nilang makaaccess sa phone naten ng walang notification. malamang kaya nilang kunin other infos na nasave sa phone naten.
eng eng mo naman, huwag ka na lang mag-smartphone mapa-Android, or Windows 8 or iOS kung yan ang iniisip mo. or better yet, huwag ka na lang mag internet LOLOLOL
Try to disable Google Play Services and it will be GONE. Though I don’t know the consequences for that. xD
yep, I notice this one too. Kala ko nga updated na to JB ang motorola ko…hinde pa pala…hehehehe
Anyway, I really didn’t find it uselful sa akin. I want to delete it, pero sayang eh…fav ko pa naman ang green. hehehe let it just stay there…baka magkaroon ng update na directa mo nang click yun if available na yung updates ng android hehehehe
It’s a useless app. Does this mean google can possibly explore my phone? >_<
Kasama yan sa Google Play update.
Nasulyapan ko lang yung title ng post na ito at di ko binasa yung article. Gulat din ako pagbukas ko menu meron na unsolicited G icon. Hahaha. Someones in control… *maniacal laughter*
How do you uninstall it? I can’t find the app in the Manage Applications window.
yes it just pop up and I deleted it but it keeps popping back. I guess if your connected to internet it will install itself even if you delete
I deleted it.
I thought it was a malware, pero i cant uninstall it so assumed it is legit. Legit nga.
i just go mine this morning! and i can’t find it in the applications so i can uninstall it
Nagulat din ako… yung CM Flare ko nagkaroon din ng ganyan…
