What information is shared with Google
If you turn on usage and diagnostics, your device sends info to Google about what’s working and not working. For example, your device can send info like:
Battery level
How often you use your apps
Quality and length of your network connections (like mobile, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth)
Turn usage & diagnostics on or off
Important:
If you turn off usage and diagnostics, your device can still get essential services, like a new version of Android. Turning off usage and diagnostics won’t affect info that apps might collect.
To choose whether to send usage and diagnostics info to Google:
Open your device's Settings app.
