I checked to see if this was on my pixel 6 pro. It wasn't but I found this.
Not something I installed and not something I would allow.
The uninstall did not appear to work UNTIL I disabled the app and cleared the data.
this is installed by default in case you want/need to enable it (company phone). it is a system app so it cannot be uninstalled, after disableing it (which probably does not do anything when it was not setup in the first place) you can uninstall the updates (so the 'old' version that's sitting in the system image is still there)
Interesting. The app isn't actually listed anymore after whatever I did.
Do you use your phone for work?
Never. Keep work and personal completely separate.
