I am having bluetooth issues with my phone and I have a lingering suspicion Garmin Connect is the cause due to odd behavior with that app and frequent/regular need to reconnect to my Garmin watch.
So, I uninstalled Garmin Connect to just remove that variable entirely.
However, despite being uninstalled from my phone (and phone rebooted), it seems Garmin Connect is still active in the background. I completed a run and that run shows in Garmin Connect and Strava.
Android on a Pixel 6.
Garmin Connect is uninstalled and no ostensible indication of its existence in settings, permissions, bluetooth, anything on the phone. To the eye it appears fully uninstalled and non-existent. But, clearly it is still back there running. Pretty sure that's bad app behavior that google would frown upon?
