What it does
ANT is a low-power wireless protocol used by heart-rate straps, bike sensors and similar fitness gear. This package connects ANT apps to the phone's radio hardware on Galaxy models that support it. Samsung's application lists for Android 10 and 11 include it, and device surveys find it on older phones such as the S10, Note9 and Note20 Ultra. It runs only when an ANT app is in use.
Also shown as ANT+ HAL service.
If you disable it
ANT+ fitness sensors can no longer connect directly to the phone. Bluetooth sensors are unaffected.
