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, and that single certificate is consistent across all 23 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 41 permissions: 12 runtime (user-granted), 8 signature or system-level, 14 install-time and 7 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Reported as an updated system app on 35 of 23 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (41)
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.

|---|---|
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION |
This app can access location at any time, even while the app is not in use. |
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION |
This app can get your approximate location from location services while the app is in use. Location services for your device must be turned on for the app to get location. |
ACCESS_CONTEXT_HUB |
Signature or privileged system permission. |

MODIFY_PHONE_STATE |

READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE |
Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗ |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running. |

This app can schedule work to happen at a desired time in the future. This also means that the app can run when you\u2019re not actively using the device. |
