It is not the most common, but, from time to time, a message that appears by surprise on our phone can make us think that something is wrong with the device. One of the most classic is the one that has to do with something called ‘ Android System Intelligence’ . What is this and why should it be updated on our mobile phone? Does anything happen if I ignore the message?
In case you didn’t know, Google’s operating system includes many system applications that facilitate the operation of the device, such as Google Play Services or, in this case, Android System Intelligence. This application, as its name implies, adds smart functions to mobile phones and tablets that work with the company’s software, but it is hidden and runs in the background, hidden from the user . What happens is that, when it is necessary to update it, it is revealed to all of us.
What is that ASY?
Android includes a large number of services that work through an application that, like the rest, is generally updated through the Google Play store. This group includes the Android System Intelligence application, an app that is responsible for offering intelligence services on our device. In other words, thanks to it, our phone can offer the classic SMS responses that we can send when we reject a call, other contextual responses with certain apps, generate automatic subtitles or intelligent text selection. Other features of Android System Intelligence are the option to copy/paste texts between platforms or the ability to use a shortcut to open the Phone app and dial a number that we found on the web.
In short, it is one of the apps used by Android to learn from us and for the mobile to act accordingly. Of course, the functionality offered by this tool differs from one device to another, offering the most complete experience on Pixel mobiles. Google phones have the ability to work with more smart features because they are developed by the firm itself, making the process easier.
Previously this technology was called ‘Device Personalization Services’ and, as you can see, it is a versatile application that is responsible for doing quite useful shadow work, especially at the accessibility level, but you will not know of its existence until updated. In fact, you probably never even realized you had that app installed on your phone until Google Play indicated that a new version had just been installed.
Does it update itself?
As long as you have automatic Play Store updates enabled, it will . In fact, the last update the app received was last week, on July 7.
If you do not have scheduled automatic updates, we encourage you to apply each new version of Android System Intelligence that appears in the Android store because, as you have seen, it is nothing more than a system tool that helps everything work as it should and that our phone is smarter every day.
