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 3 different Google signing keys appear across the fleet.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 25 permissions: 4 runtime (user-granted), 5 signature or system-level, 11 install-time and 5 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 7.4 MB to 16.8 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 32 of 20 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (25)
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 |
|---|---|
android.Manifest.permission.TURN_SCREEN_ON |
- |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
CONTROL_DISPLAY_COLOR_TRANSFORMS |

FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services with the type "systemExempted" |
INTERACT_ACROSS_PROFILES |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
INTERNET |
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet. |

Allows the app to show notifications |
QUERY_USERS |

READ_MEDIA_AUDIO |
Allows the app to read audio files from your shared storage. |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |

START_FOREGROUND_SERVICES_FROM_BACKGROUND |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
USE_EXACT_ALARM |
This app can schedule actions like alarms and reminders to notify you at a desired time in the future. |

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.
