Ugh ...

[13Flossy]

So I just received my S22 Ultra back from Samsung. Sent it in for multiple issues. One was a blotch in the display screen that caused that 1/4 inch area to be blur of colors. Other see hardware or software issues with blue tooth and other various things. Anyway, upon it's return the LCD had been replaced and I have a strange app on my device. It's one that I can't find on the phone itself . I only did it by scanning thru my package disabler.

Cameralyzer and I've included the pix below.

Which brings me another thing I don't understand. If I disable something in the package disabler how do I know in fact it's disabled?
Because I disabled my AR emoji apps and by accident I got the key as an option for phone backgrounds and it went right into it without any questions or permissions needed to enable it.

Makes me wonder ..

It’s a System app, surely?

It's a system app , if you tapp setting in my screenshot pop up window you can see , as for package disabler pro when u disable something it shows a list of apps disabled try digital wellbeing being and go to setting and try to access it u can't untill u enable it again

It's a Samsung system app that at one point was found to be vulnerable to attack: https://vuldb.com/?id.157743. This was patched pretty quickly: https://www.rprna.com/news/samsung-july-2020-security-patch-details/

To be clear, this is NOT malware.

May I have the correct address for the package disabler. I wish if I'm using the wrong one. Because it's even doing/showing funny things. Like multiple (10-12) if the exact same app. I don't understand that to be possible. And maybe that's why it's not working right because I'm using the wrong one.
And I agree that once they are disabled they should be unusable until I enable them again thru the disabler. However that's not the case, as I mentioned with ar emoji recently.
Thank you

Oh, just curious why is cameralyzer not visible in my phone but it is on the PD app

It's not unusual for certain system apps to appear multiple times in the Settings>Apps list. I'm not sure why this happens, but I can tell you it's normal.

When you bring up the Settings>Apps list, are you also selecting the option to Show System (or do you know where to find that option)?

 

[13Flossy]

Yes I can manage that task. I thank you for asking to be sure

These are the ones... Why would I need 10 of any of these or 5 of the other. It's just kind of silly and useless up space
Just trying to understand because they multiple navigation over just appeared since this morning

 

[BerryBubbles]

Sorry, I'm swinging in here. It shows up for me after I toggled on "show system apps". I really don't believe you need to worry about this system app.

I looked on my Galaxy A32 5G, and see something similar -- but keep in mind that those aren't actually duplicates. If you look at the full name of the apps, you'll see that the very end of the app name is something different (e.g., com.google.android.overlay.gmsconfig.common vs. com.google.android.overlay.gmsconfig.geotz, etc.)

You got from here PDP?

That is the same one I have. So I don't understand why it doesn't work correctly.
If I disable an app it should not have any functionality until I enable it again... Is this correct?
If so it's not doing it's job whatsoever.

You enable device administrator?

 

[Mr Bojangles1]

Hackers are constantly trying to find vulnerabilities to be able to hack devices and developers are constantly trying to fix vulnerabilities that are found. That post is from 2020 so I almost guarantee it has been patched/fixed.
