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.

device profiles
- 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 3 different Google signing keys appear across the fleet.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 54 permissions: 16 runtime (user-granted), 1 signature or system-level, 24 install-time and 13 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 67.8 MB to 108.6 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 58 of 42 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (54)
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.
