Well, I did not mean in a backdoor way. If google has a backdoor for the three letters agencies, I don’t expect they would reveal it even if the whole country of Argentine flipped itself over.

I meant in a public way. The play store can install apps remotely through a google account but I have no idea how far this goes.

Is google even able to do it? They are unable to push os updates directly in most cases, sinco those go through phone vendors. Idk if they already have the ability to remotely uninstall apps. Maybe through the appstore?

I use ESET and rate of false positives is very low for me (as long as you disable detect “potentially unwanted applications”, it asks during installation).
