When I go to SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> GOOGLE, I recently noticed a third category (Other than My Account and Services). The category is in lowercase and reads [internal]

Clicking GCM Diagnostics leads to these 2 screens -- depending on whether you choose STATUS or EVENTS on the TOP LEFT corner.

I havent downloaded anything new for some time now, and my setting dont show any recent system updates to explain why these new entries have appeared on my phone.

There is almost no liteirature online on Growth Debug, so its a little peculiar that the term is used in an end-user interface.

Does anyone have the same entries appearing on their phone (mine is an Android 6.0.1, ZTE Z832), or perhaps can explain what these programs are supposed to do?

Your help is sought. :D
