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 the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall, but 2 different certificates appear across the fleet, so OEMs ship their own builds of it.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 54 permissions: 4 runtime (user-granted), 15 signature or system-level, 3 install-time and 32 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 8.5 MB to 17.2 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
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.

Disable for the current user
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.galaxyfinder
Remove for the current user - a per-user uninstall; the APK stays on
