What is this app i found on my android phone? Name is shown as ATMWifiMeta.

[Android Central Question]

It was found on my BluView 2 prepaid cellphone I recently purchased. When I tried to do a web search using the app name all it came up with was options for apk downloads but never a description of the app or an answer to my question asking what it was.

I thought I had found something, well I may have but not what I expected. I found one APK mirror that had the app listed as being by OPPO but I cannot link OPPO to BluView other then in comparisons between devices. If it is being put out by OPPO I would assume that it is a system app of some kind and not harmful. If you are unable to uninstall it that would confirm this.

Welcome to Android Central! This link at least tells you it's a Mediatek system app -- Mediatek is the company that makes the phone's CPU. So you can at least rest assured it's not malware.

I suspect it has to do with Asynchronous Transfer Mode:
