I didn't explore everything. If needed I can continue. I bought a P8 Lite so I can test too :D

iMonitor doesnt have Internet permission so it doesnt send anything outside, only stores <tcpdump.log>. Seems to be an engineering feature. com.huawei.imonitor (de7ff20f2d0c8c0750b7fe47382c2aa5e7043e41a05f0c2fd194f833ec6c9cb1) #1

HiView on other hand does the same and has the Internet permission. 7C8A896D824C3E9042101FADBDE41B904D5DFBE758A5743BF590DA21650E9ACB #2pic.twitter.com/fUyin6t5Nh

There are multiple things here: - Yes, this tcpdump feature is probably an engineering feature - I didn't see where this feature is used - You know what it is, we are talking about system apps. An app can store the file and another one send it
-
- The most important thing here is: why the f*ck this service is running all the time, persistant after reboot - The app is called monitor
-
In my side, I see 2 options here: - This is laziness and in this case, it's very unprofessional - This is malicious You decide :D

Potentially unwanted for the everyday user yes. Device diagnostic data also is another option ;) (pic from com.huawei.hiview)pic.twitter.com/tfwhW54cco

Well, you don't need to capture the all internet traffic to make a device diagnostic ;)
