Its English label in our sample is recorded as both "Drawing assist" and "Creative studio", with localised equivalents in other locales (for example "Zeichnungs-Assistent" under de-de); this is a Samsung system package. Its labels match Samsung's Galaxy AI feature now documented as "Creative studio (Drawing assist)", which Samsung describes as creating new images from a sketch, photo, image or text, opened from the Edge panel or, on S Pen models, from Air command. Samsung's support pages state that it needs a network connection and a Samsung account sign-in, that generated images carry a visible AI watermark, and that when an image is generated from a drawing the drawing is sent to a server only to provide the feature and is not stored by Samsung. It can be switched on or off under Settings > Galaxy AI. The pages document the feature rather than naming this package, so the tie between the two rests on the labels and is an inference. In our sample it is recorded only on Samsung devices. Where this site holds signer data, it is signed by a Samsung OEM key that also signs the Android framework, a platform-level key. Its requested permissions include INTERNET, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, SET_WALLPAPER, a Samsung account permission and binding permissions for several Samsung AI services. This site aggregates permissions across observations rather than per build, so which builds request which permissions cannot be established. Version note: Samsung's US article on "AI Drawing Assist" says Drawing assist is supported on select phones and tablets running Android 14 with One UI 6.1 through Android 16 with One UI 8.0, while Samsung's Singapore article (last updated April 2026) names the feature "Creative studio (Drawing assist)" and a separate US article calls it "Creative studio". The exact release in which the name changed is not stated in the Samsung pages cited here. This site has only observed this package on devices reporting API 35 to 37, and this site's roll-up reports versions from 1.0.46.11 to 1.3.52.5; whether builds on Android 14 carried the feature under this package could not be established. For Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk use, no enrolment or management role is identified in the sources cited here. If this package is the Creative studio component its labels indicate, it is a generative-image tool that sends user drawings to a Samsung server, which may be relevant to data-handling policy on corporate devices; Samsung documents a switch under Settings > Galaxy AI to turn the feature off. The effects of disabling the package itself could not be established from these sources, so test on a single device first.

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.

PermissionDescription
ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK -
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.
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.
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. docs ↗
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.
SET_WALLPAPER Allows the app to set the system wallpaper.
START_ACTIVITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗
VIBRATE Allows the app to control the vibrator.
WAKE_LOCK Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep.
WRITE_SETTINGS Allows the app to modify the system's settings data. Malicious apps may corrupt your system's configuration.

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.sketchbook
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.sketchbook
Re-enable
adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.app.sketchbook
Restore (re-install for the current user)
adb shell pm install-existing com.samsung.android.app.sketchbook
