So I have been curious as to why random Apps keep getting Installed on my Android Devices. Turns out, it is a System App designated "Mobile Services Manager"

Solution -

Go to your Settings

Go to Apps

Depending on your Device and OS Version, there should be either 3 Dots, or a Sorting Listing. Press this Item, and Enable Show System Apps

Scroll down to the M Listings to find Mobile Services Manager and select it

Go down to Force Stop, confirm you want to Force Stop it.

Now hit Disable, and Confirm you want it Disabled

DOWNSIDE - If your Device is still getting System Updates, it will get Re-Enabled. So have to make sure from time to time that it is still Disabled
