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, and that single certificate is consistent across all 2 device profiles. 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 (580 packages, 11729 observations).
- Its largest observed manifest declares 36 permissions: 3 runtime (user-granted), 6 signature or system-level, 6 install-time and 21 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 1.5 MB to 6.4 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (36)
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 |
|---|---|
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |
GET_ACCOUNTS_PRIVILEGED |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW |
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. |
READ_CONTACTS |
Allows the app to read data about your contacts stored on your phone. Apps will also have access to the accounts on your phone that have created contacts. This may include accounts created by apps you have installed. This permission allows apps to save your contact data, and malicious apps may share contact data without your knowledge. |
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE |
Allows the app to read the contents of your shared storage. |
READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE |
Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗ |

Allows an application to request installation of packages. |
SEND_RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
VIBRATE |
Allows the app to control the vibrator. |

Manage on devices
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.
Disable for the current user
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.simplesharing
Remove for the current user - a per-user uninstall; the APK stays on
/system, so Restore re-adds it (-k keeps app data)adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.simplesharing
Re-enable
adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.app.simplesharing
Restore (re-install for the current user)
adb shell pm install-existing com.samsung.android.app.simplesharing

Each record is a device profile (make + model + Android version). Each unique handset that syncs against a matching profile will increase the observations of a package, thereby increasing confidence that a package is expected to be on a device.
