Package intelligence
Observed signing, permission, version and size signals from contributing devices - descriptive of that sample, not a verdict. These come from the v2 Package Search sync, which not every device has contributed to yet, so for some packages this detail is partial or not present at all.
- Signed by Google's own signing key (the same key Google uses across devices), so it is a Google-provided preinstall that updates independently of the system image, though 4 different Google signing keys appear across the fleet.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 6 permissions: 1 runtime (user-granted), 1 signature or system-level, 2 install-time and 2 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 4.1 MB to 6.4 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (6)
Largest permission set observed for this package. Text is Android's own published description where one exists; platform permissions Android does not document show their granted protection level (in grey) instead; vendor or unknown constants show the name only.
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
HIDE_OVERLAY_WINDOWS |
This app can request that the system hides overlays originating from apps from being shown on top of it. |
INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
MANAGE_CONTACTS_PICKER_SESSION |
- |
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES |
Allows an app to see all installed packages. |
READ_CONTACTS |
Allows the app to read data about your contacts stored on your phone. Apps will also have access to the accounts on your phone that have created contacts. This may include accounts created by apps you have installed. This permission allows apps to save your contact data, and malicious apps may share contact data without your knowledge. |

Manage on devices
ADB commands for this package (the inverse of each is included so you can undo). Run from an authorised shell or wire the equivalent into your DPC. Verify on a test device first - this database doesn’t yet classify which packages are safe to change. --user 0 targets the current user; drop it (and use a privileged shell) to act device-wide.
