Android System SafetyCore (com.google.android.safetycore) provides common infrastructure that apps can use to protect users from unwanted content. The classification of content runs exclusively on your device and the results aren’t shared with Google.
As a system service, SafetyCore is only active when an application integrates with SafetyCore and specifically requests content to be classified. SafetyCore performs the classification on the device itself and doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers
For now there is no app that uses it. In future any app can use it to avoid setting up his system not on device.
