The so-called ANT Radio Service is an app that is installed ex works on some Android devices and ensures that your smartphone automatically connects to other mobile devices, such as fitness trackers or navigation systems. The software is offered by Garmin Canada Inc. and can also be downloaded from the Play Store. However, the app is not required to connect wireless devices. This article will tell you more about the ANT Radio Service and how to remove it.

What exactly does the ANT Radio Service do?

The ANT Radio Service is preinstalled on Android devices and enables wireless communication between smartphones and other mobile devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. The service works in a similar way to the usual wireless technologies Bluetooth and WLAN. According to the manufacturer Garmin, the app is only active if the corresponding devices are actually paired with your mobile phone.

How do I uninstall the ANT Radio Service?

If the service bothers you or you are not completely at ease, the only option left is to deactivate it. A complete deinstallation is unfortunately not possible without further ado. To do this, you would have to bypass the Android operating system completely, which is known as "rooting". But this is more for users who have specialist knowledge of the Android operating system. To deactivate the ANT radio service, you need to do the following:

  1. Open the settings on your Android device.
  2. Navigate to the menu item " Apps " and tap on the entry " ANT Radio Service ".
  3. Now go to the " Deactivate " button . The service is now disabled, but it will still be installed on your device.
