- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall. It also signs the Android framework, so it is a platform-level key on its device(s). Inferred from the certificate appearing only on Samsung devices (508 packages, 10196 observations).
- Its largest observed manifest declares 46 permissions: 7 runtime (user-granted), 4 signature or system-level, 9 install-time and 26 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Reported as an updated system app on 1 of 1 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
