What it does
ANT+ Plugins Service gives fitness apps a common way to read data from ANT+ devices like heart-rate monitors, cadence and speed sensors and power meters. It is published on the Play Store by the makers of ANT and was preinstalled on older Galaxy phones that have ANT radio hardware. It runs only when a fitness app uses an ANT+ sensor.
If you disable it
Fitness apps can no longer read ANT+ sensors. Bluetooth sensors are unaffected.
