I'm wondering if the Phone and Messaging apps (from AOSP) are really required for the Pixel Tablet (tangorpro
to work.
It's because both system apps only function as intended on smartphones, which have the capability of cellular service. However, the Pixel Tablet has no cellular modem, so as far as I can observe the Pixel Tablet will never have a call that will come in through the Phone app or an SMS message that will come in through the Messaging app.
I'd like to know if there's a reason why these 2 apps are on the Pixel Tablet. (I wanted to ask here, since this didn't seem suitable as a GrapheneOS issue on GitHub.)
I was curious, since LineageOS on the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (gta4xlwifi
, the Wi-Fi only model), as an example of a Wi-Fi only Android device, has these apps removed from the OS.
