Fucksake, just discovered one of my phones has a "meta services" app installed. Must have come with the phone?
It's doing *something* via the Internet.
There is also a "meta app manager".
I disabled them, cleared their data, and removed their access to background data.
They didn't have an uninstall option like a normal installed app thus my suspicion they have been forced in by Samsung. However, oddly, picking "uninstall updates" seems to remove them entirely. So does this mean they didn't originally ship with the phone and have been added since? (In which case I'll be a little more lenient on myself for this failure of awareness!)
