Hi,

After upgrading to 5.1, am seeing something called as get more in the app usage access tab.

Anyone aware of this?

That is a 3rd party app but usage access doesn't seem to be enabled for it.

Hi Alexdon,

I don't see any app like that neither have installed any like that? If i go in to apps and search i don't get any result.

Previously it was enabled, i had disabled it.

That is strange,is your phone locked to a carrier? It might be bloatware.

No, its not locked to any carrier. Even i am not able to find out. I didn't install anything new..

If its an app, i should be able to find out from the app section, but i don't find anything there.

Does anybody running 5.1 has got this app?

On 5.0.2 I only have device monitor, stamina and lifelog. Will check when I get 5.1.1.

The only think i observe is, if i got to the below path

setting>apps>personalisation>themes

When i press the three dots, i get an option as Get More, when i press that it goes to Whats New app.

Not sure if its that.

May be sony support could highlight.

It might be related to whats new in this case. @Rickard could you assist?

It's one of our preinstalled system apps so it's not a malware or something that you have downloaded. I'm not entirely sure but i believe it's used for the case you describe.

Hi Rickard,

The app access usage is required to be turned on for get more app?

I managed to get some more information about this app and at the moment it actually doesn't have any function and it's currently inactive. The purpose of it is to enable future user experiences but what that will be i'm not able to get information on.
