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 49 permissions: 5 runtime (user-granted), 9 signature or system-level, 10 install-time and 25 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 16.4 MB to 42.3 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 4 of 7 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (49)
