There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I'm really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?

It's some extremely shady google spyware that seems impossible to remove if you use google services.

Please do not spread misinformation. Instead read this comic: https://federated.withgoogle.com/ and look at the wikipedia article to learn how this works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_learning

Any thing using my data, leaving my device or not, without my explicit concent, or obtaining my concent by obscure means, is spyware.
