I’m yet to find an Android phone that doesn’t have the trio Meta Services / App Manager / App Installer preinstalled as system apps. What do these actually do?

Seriously, WHY is this cancer on pretty much every Android phone? Even the Galaxy S Ultras have this, which is an absolute clownery considering how much they cost.

Since you can’t actually remove them (they are system apps after all), what is the purpose of this trio? What are they for? By disabling them, how much are you actually crippling their functionality?

Chromecast 2nd gen unable to cast YouTube livestreams specifically

This seems like a widespread issue.

Casting a regular video is fine, but casting a livestream causes a bug where it keeps replaying the same 3 second clip over and over unless you leave it for really long, then it starts playing back normally but then what is the point of a livestream with a 2 minute delay?

I was using it to watch the World Cup games (Cazé TV) and it started happening yesterday. Since there are reports of this from 2 weeks ago I have to assume that it is an uncaught issue with a staged rollout update.

Now I’m having to cast from Prime Video and it’s just not the same, delay is significantly bigger than YT and they do not cast at 60fps.

Firmware 1.56.467165

I’ve tried factory resetting it, didn’t work.
