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 11 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 72 permissions: 1 runtime (user-granted), 7 signature or system-level, 7 install-time and 57 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 20.1 MB to 45.8 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Reported as an updated system app on 6 of 11 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (72)
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_KEYGUARD_SECURE_STORAGE |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK |
- |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
BATTERY_STATS |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |
INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL |
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. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
Allows the app to show notifications |
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES |
Allows an app to see all installed packages. |
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. |
REQUEST_PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY |
Allows the app to learn the screen lock complexity level (high, medium, low or none), which indicates the possible range of length and type of the screen lock. The app can also suggest to users that they update the screen lock to a certain level but users can freely ignore and navigate away. Note that the screen lock is not stored in plaintext so the app does not know the exact password. |
REVOKE_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
START_ACTIVITIES_FROM_BACKGROUND |
Signature or privileged system permission. docs ↗ |
WAKE_LOCK |
Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep. |
WATCH_APPOPS |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
