Samsung Phone on Australia, it was present on my device also. So not just West Asia and Africa.

I was able to disable it but not remove it, unclear if it will re-enable itself. It had sent about 35mb of data since March 1st, and was enabled as a background service.

Did try to see if using blockada (or similar apps) to block the apps access to the internet would work or cause and side effects (like other core apps not loading, ...)?
