Realme: Turn Usage & Diagnostics On or Off

Realme phones quietly send app usage and diagnostics data to Google in the background, starting right after setup. Aggregated versions of that data can also reach Google partners or app developers for evaluation. If you would rather keep that data on the device, the 'Usage & diagnostics' setting controls whether this collection stays active.

Turn On or Off Usage & Diagnostics auf Realme

Realme UI collects app usage statistics and crash or diagnostics data in the background and forwards it to Google. Google uses this information to improve Android and related services, and shares aggregated results with partners or app developers.

This collection runs independently of app permissions, since it belongs to the system layer rather than to individual apps. It starts automatically after setup and stays active until you change it manually.

You control this behavior in one place:

SettingsPrivacyAdvancedUsage & diagnosticsEnable or disable Usage & diagnostics

Turning this off does not disable Google account sync, app updates, or push notifications. It only stops the extra telemetry about how you use apps and how the system behaves.

Leave it enabled if you rely on Google's automatic bug detection for apps you use daily, since some fixes are prioritized based on this data. Disable it if you prefer minimal background data transmission, especially on a device you use for sensitive work.

Side effect: with the setting off, Google and app developers get less information to diagnose crashes on your specific device, which can slightly slow down fixes for issues you personally encounter.

Frequently asked questions

No. Core functions like Google Play Services, sync, and notifications keep working. Only the background telemetry about app usage and crashes stops.
