Those three apps are often installed by default in the most of android systems. They can be easily removed with adb. But what they do exactly? What type of data they collect and send online?

Before you remove it install tracker control from fdroid. And let us know if you find anything.
Can you recommend one? I am using the one in duckduckgo and holy trackers batman
TrackerControl one word.
What app are you referring to? I searched tracker control on fdroid but nothing came up.
Yeh its a bit of a pain searching. Here https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/
Or search DNS and look through apps until you see it
Thanks, I got the app. Strangely enough, meta apps don’t show on tc even with system apps enabled. Guess I’m just going to adb them.
I removed those apps in a old device and I find that they connect to Facebook very often, to send I don’t know what.
