I do not want apps running on my Samsung Galaxy phone when I am not using them.
I own a OTR800.
I know how to kill apps both with my Appkiller app and manually on Android. It is bad enough some Google apps can not be killed, but Garmin goes too far.
My phone has all its updates but these apps have done the same behavior for on Android 9,10,11,12.
You can not disable the apps either. A users only choice is to uninstall both the Drive app and Dezl app. Else they consume power and some data.
These apps could be made to detect a Bluetooth connection a GPS device and be dormant the rest, which is most, of the time I am not driving and in motion.
So Garmin should reimburse everyone for the background data these apps consume without the users permission of knowledge.
For nowhere in the user agreement does it indicate these apps run 24/7 and can not be shut off.
I think they are secretly collecting personal data.
The apps really do not help me navigate. They are supposed to warn me of real time traffic and speed traps. This is yet to happen once, in the six months I have owned the OTR800.
I do not recommend installing Drive app and Dezl app on any phone, until such a time as users have full control over the apps.
