Android app installed by itself

[Susy]

Hi, this is the second time that I found on my home an app installed by itself.
I immediately deleted it, but I wasn't careful enough to look closely at the name of the app or to take a screenshot. My fault. However, it was named "Android system... something". It don't show up in the Play Store, on the "not installed" apps.

I did some research on the web, but I only found an app called "Android system safety core" that's installing by itself on Android phones. The problem is that the icon is not the same. The icon I saw on my home was black (on the background) and purple/blue purple (something like waves). I didn't found an icon like this in my researches.

Has anyone experienced the same thing or have some suggestion?
I have a Huawei P30.

I've actually seen something like that recently on my old 1st gen Pixel (that I keep for historical reasons). It seems like some Android system app that is either updating or being installed de novo by Google Play Services. I wouldn't be worried about it, but I can't give you a definitive answer just yet.

Thank you. If you have any news, let me know.

I'm pretty sure it was Android System Key Verifier. https://support.google.com/product-documentation/answer/15669061?hl=en

The icon was similar in concept (it had a vertical wave with two "hugging drops"), but it was black and purple...
I tried to download it to see if any icon update occurred, but nothing happened...

It's been on your device from the get go. It's just been split off from monthly system updates so it can be updated when the need arises. Leave it alone.
