That makes me wonder if its Google Play Services (mandatorily preloaded into every Android device) that connects frequently / keeps a connection idle to support things like Push Notifications?
- ggggtez 6y agoAlso, Google Play Services isn't Google Play. "Services" actually encompasses nearly every single app on the device, since it's more or less a library rather than an app. In which case the suit would incorrectly be blaming the store, instead of the real app that is sending the data.
- izacus 6y agoYes, it's the Play Services which handles push notifications and quite a bit of other APIs bound to Google servers as well (e.g. Nearby, Maps API, etc.)
