Hi everyone, 

Íve had a apple phone my phone life and because that one's locked me out... I am now trying an andriod. What caught me off was how different it was acting and also how limited my options were... Certain settings are missing or hidden, There's hidden service's being enabled without my consent, it doesn't show me my phone number and things are just constantly error error error ... Is there something I can do to seriously factory reset anythibg malicious thats on the phone? I know apple uses iTunes not really sure about Android lol.....?

I seriously wonder why you are looking at system apps.  They are hidden for the reason that you never have to mess with them unless there's an issue and you absolutely know what you are doing.  If your phone is new, it is doubtful there is malicious software on it, unless it was something you, yourself, downloaded.  You don't need to consent to hidden services, you consent when you activate your phone and they are necessary for your phone to work properly.

Is there anything, specifically, you are having problems with, or are you just curious about the system apps you are seeing?  Nothing in your screen shots looks out of the ordinary.  Turn on app protection in the security settings, and you shouldn't have to worry about malware.

Like realaud said you don't have to worry about anything because these Apps that you posted above have nothing to do with malwares, these are SYSTEM Apps, and App protection is On by default, I have both iPhone and android , I know what I'm talking about.

Certain apps will ping your location regularly.  The find app, for example, requires your location. In order to use the find my device feature, those apps need to know where your phone is.  Google Maps needs your location. Your calendar and time zone need your location.  It is not unusual for your location to have been triggered at various times for various reasons.

 

Whatever is happening with your keyboard, you will have to explain in more detail.  Which keyboard are you using and what exactly is happening? 

 

I assure you, if there is malware on your phone, your phone did not come with it, it would be something you downloaded or clicked a malicious email link, or you have a compromised account.
