Google’s Private Compute Services now available as an app on Play Store

Recently, Google announced “Private Compute Core” on I/O in May as an effective rebrand for “Device Personalization Services,” now called “Android System Intelligence.” That was followed by “Private Compute Services” last month, that section is now available as an app in the Google Play Store.

The Private Compute Core is where features like Live Caption, Now Playing, and Smart Reply work in a separate network mode across all Android and apps. This is important for sound and language processing that you are sensitive to, as well as the ability to read notifications.

Android ensures that sensitive data processed in Private Compute Core is not shared with any applications unless you take action. For example, until you tap Smart response, the OS keeps your answer hidden from your keyboard and the app you type on.

Private Compute Services in September was announced as a way for those Android privacy apps to “use the cloud without compromising your privacy.” That may include downloading new ML models and expressions, as well as catalogs of the latest songs. With PCS, those cloud updates can happen in the same private way.

Google today released an update to Private Compute Services and began launching it in the Google Play Store with a new green icon that recommends one Android System Intelligence. It jumps from version 1.0.3x to 1.0.4x and appears first on Pixel devices on Android 12.

Listed screenshots provide a high-quality view, then say ‘how to check your phone network connection, and review how it keeps your information private, and why.’ The timeline view is indicated by the diagram below, but that capability does not appear to exist today in the system settings after the update.

Going forward, Google plans to publish the source code for Private Compute Services to allow external testing.
