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 12 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 43 permissions: 4 runtime (user-granted), 12 signature or system-level, 8 install-time and 19 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (43)
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_COARSE_LOCATION |
This app can get your approximate location from location services while the app is in use. Location services for your device must be turned on for the app to get location. |

Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
BROADCAST_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS |
Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗ |
CALL_PHONE |
Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. This may result in unexpected charges or calls. Note that this doesn't allow the app to call emergency numbers. Malicious apps may cost you money by making calls without your confirmation, or dial carrier codes which cause incoming calls to be automatically forwarded to another number. |
CALL_PRIVILEGED |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
CONTROL_INCALL_EXPERIENCE |
Signature or privileged system permission. |

Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |

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_PHONE_STATE |
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call. |

Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗ |
READ_SEARCH_INDEXABLES |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
